File Channels

This resource represents a channel where Files can be shared across Clients and Companies. Items associated with a channel are only accessible to the members of that channel. The members of the channel are users in a workspace including both clients and internal users.

Based on the membershipType of a file channel, the client members are either pre-determined or fluid. An individual file channel has a single client; a company file channel has all clients associated with the corresponding company.

On the other hand, a group file channel has a fluid list of clients within a company (it could potentially have one, several, or even all clients within the company). The members of a group file channel can be added or removed via the UI.

The clientId and companyId properties allow you to easily identify the source entity for that file channel (without having to e.g. search through the memberIds). Only individual channels will have a clientId. The companyId for individual channels indicates which company of the client this channel belongs to.
