Workshare used to have three areas at the top level – Files & Folders (Classic), Groups and My Files.

We made some changes in 2014 to make things simpler. To shorten the long name Files & Folders (Classic), the area was renamed to Folders. To make the top level of Worksahre cleaner, the My Files area was put into the Folders area.

Files & Folders (Classic) will be renamed to Folders, and My Files will be moved into Folders, as shown in the picture above. You'll be notified when the update is complete.
