Files, teams, and privacy

Your workspace is your organization in Moda. Teammates share it, and by default new designs are saved where the whole team can see them. This page explains where files land, how to change that, and how people join your workspace.

​

Where new designs are saved

Every workspace has two places a design can live:

• My Files — your own space. Designs you create land here only if you choose it as the destination.
• Team Files — the shared team space. This is the default for new designs.

​

Location vs. who can see it

These are two separate things:

• Location is where a design lives — My Files or Team Files.
• Visibility is who can see it — Restricted (only you), Shared, or Team.

My Files is your own bucket, but it holds both Restricted (only-you) designs and Shared ones. If you share a design with specific people, it stays in your My Files while remaining visible to the people you shared it with. In other words, “it’s in My Files” does not guarantee “only I can see it.” To make sure a design is visible only to you:

1. Open the design and click the Share control.
2. Remove anyone with access
3. Ensure General access is set to Restricted.

When a design is Restricted, the Share control shows “Only you can see this.” Sharing it with people changes its visibility to shared (the Share control then shows “Shared with specific people”), and it stays in My Files.

​

The save-location control

When you create a design from the homepage prompt box, there’s a save-location control next to the prompt that shows where the result will land. It displays the current destination — My Files, Team Files, or a specific folder name — with a matching icon. Hover it and the tooltip reads “Generations will be saved to …”. To change it:

1. Click the save-location control.
2. In the Save location dialog, switch between My Files and Team Files.
3. Optionally pick a folder within that bucket.
4. Click Save here.

Moda remembers this choice for next time. It does not sync across devices or browsers, and each team has its own remembered destination. If you switch to another device, another browser, or a different team, the destination falls back to that team’s default (Team Files, or a workspace default if your admin set one), so check the save-location control before creating.

​

Moving a design after it’s created

You can move a design between My Files and Team Files at any time from the Files view — drag it onto the My Files or Team Files section, or use its move option. Moving a design from My Files to Team Files makes it visible to the whole team; Moda shows a confirmation before it becomes team-visible.

​

Setting a default save location for the whole workspace

On the Ultra and Enterprise plans, a workspace admin can set where new designs land for everyone:

1. Open Settings → Workspace → General.
2. Find Default save location and click the current value.
3. Choose My Files or Team Files (and optionally a folder), then Set default.

Anyone can still override this per design using the save-location control described above.

​

Teams and privacy

• A workspace contains your team and everyone’s files.
• Team Files are visible to all members of the team.
• My Files is your own bucket; designs in it are Restricted (only you) unless you share them, in which case they become Shared with the specific people you choose while staying in My Files.

Members are managed in Settings → Workspace → General, where an admin can invite teammates by email.

​

Domain auto-join

If your workspace has a claimed email domain, people who sign up with a work email at that domain can automatically join your workspace instead of creating their own.

​

How a domain gets claimed

You don’t claim a domain from a settings page — it happens automatically at signup. When the first person signs up with a work email (a business domain, not a personal provider like Gmail or Outlook), Moda creates a workspace for that domain, marks the domain as claimed, and turns Domain auto-join on by default. While the setting stays on, eligible same-domain sign-ups then join that workspace automatically — subject to the workspace’s member limit and standard account-verification safeguards (for example, a user removed from the workspace earlier won’t be re-added). Because of this, the Domain auto-join setting only appears for workspaces that were created from a work-email domain. Workspaces started from a personal email address don’t have a claimable domain, so they don’t show this setting.

​

Turning it on or off

1. Open Settings → Workspace → General.
2. Find the Domain auto-join setting. It reads “Users with @yourdomain.com emails auto-join this workspace.”
3. Toggle it off to stop new same-domain users from joining automatically, or on to allow it.
