Organizations explained

The difference between your personal vault and a shared team organization.

3 min read · Updated June 28, 2026


In Stoatify, everything belongs to an organization: the boundary that owns documents and members. On your first sign-in a private personal organization is created just for you. To collaborate, you create or join a team organization where documents are shared.

The Organization screen in the Stoatify app: a personal vault plus Household and Acme Inc teams, with a Create organization button and the current members
Switch between your personal vault and any team you belong to.

How organizations work

  • You can belong to several organizations and switch between them instantly, from the switcher in the sidebar (web) or the Organization screen (mobile).
  • Each org has its own documents, members, roles, and settings. Switching changes everything you see.
  • Your personal org stays private: it's a separate space that's never shared, no matter how many teams you join.

Create a team

Anyone can create a team org with Create organization, which makes you its Owner. Inside a team, documents are shared by default with everyone, and you restrict the sensitive ones. Then invite your team.

Good to know

The paid Business plans add team features like custom roles, the audit log, and single sign-on. See Plans and storage limits.

Tip

The org you're in rides with every action, so glance at the switcher before uploading if you keep work and personal vaults separate.
