How can we help you?

ContactMonkey offers two File Manager options that you can toggle between: My Files for individual work and Team Files for collaborative work. Enable this toggle feature in your account settings.

My Files

Best for: Individual users who work independently on email content

Files uploaded here will appear across all team environments you are assigned to.

Key benefits:

• Private, personal file library
• Complete control over your uploads and access permissions
• Ideal for personal assets and work-in-progress materials

When to choose My Files:

• You work primarily alone on email campaigns
• You need a private workspace for draft materials
• You want exclusive control over file access

Team Files

Best for: Teams working collaboratively on shared content

Files uploaded here are team-scoped, meaning they are only accessible within the specific team they were uploaded to.

Key benefits:

• Shared library accessible by all team members
• Eliminates duplicate uploads across team members
• Centralized storage for brand assets

When to choose Team Files:

• You collaborate frequently with teammates
• You need to share company logos, headers, footers, or brand assets
• You want to avoid duplicate file uploads across your team
