Teams & collaboration

Create a team, invite members, share maps and layers, and transfer ownership.

Teams are part of the Team plan. They let you share maps and layers with named people and collaborate, rather than handing out public links.

Create a team

Open Team from your account. On the Team plan, give a Team name and Create team. You can run more than one team and switch between them.

Invite members

In a team, Invite someone by email with a role of Member or Admin.

  • If they already have a DropMaps account on the same email with a Team plan, they join automatically.
  • Otherwise, share the generated join link — they can sign up with any email and still join.
  • Admins can change member roles, revoke pending invites, and remove members. Owners can rename or delete the team.

Share with the team

From a map’s Share → Team & transfer tab, share the map (or a layer group) directly with the team or with individual people, choosing Viewer, Edit data or Edit map. Shared maps open live in each member’s editor. What’s shared with a team is listed under Shared with this team.

Transfer ownership

You can transfer ownership of a map to another account. The recipient gets a pending transfer to accept (under Account → Pending transfers); you stay the owner until they accept. You choose which of your layers move across with it. The recipient needs a DropMaps account with enough storage.

Real-time collaboration

Maps shared with edit access sync live between collaborators, so changes show up as they happen.
