Family Folder lets you bring your household together in one private vault. Both Family Administrators and Family Owners can send invites — either directly to an email address or via a shareable link that anyone with the URL can use to join.Documentation Index

Sending an invitation
Open Family Settings and click Invite in the Members section. From there, choose how you’d like to send the invite.- Email invite
Send an invitation directly to someone’s email address. They receive a message with a one-click link to join.
Open the invite dialog
In Family Settings, click Invite. The dialog opens with the Email tab selected by default.
Enter the email address
Type the recipient’s email address in the Email field (for example,
name@example.com).Choose a role
Select the role you want to assign:
- Family Member — standard access, cannot invite others
- Family Owner — can invite and manage Family Members
If the email fails to send, Family Folder still creates the invite. You can copy the invite link from the Pending invitations list and share it manually.
What happens when someone accepts
When a recipient opens the invite link, Family Folder asks them to sign in (or create an account) if they aren’t already. Once signed in, they see the family name and the role they’ve been invited as, and can choose to Accept or Decline. Accepting is a single click. Family Folder adds them to your family immediately and redirects them to the app.If the person accepting the invite is already in a different family, accepting will move them out of their current family. If their current family has no other members, it is archived automatically.
Invite expiry
All invitations — both email and link — expire 7 days after they are created. After expiry, the link shows an “invite has expired” message and cannot be used. To re-invite someone after an invite expires, create a new invite from Family Settings.Revoking a pending invite
You can cancel a pending invitation at any time before it is accepted.Find the invite
Pending invites show the recipient’s email address (or “Shareable link” for link-based invites), the assigned role, and the expiry date.
