Joining the Network

The Filevine Referral Network is available to all Filevine users. The network is administered via an email Listserv.

Sharing a project in Filevine is simple. Once the project you would like to share has been created and basic information has been added, follow the steps below:

2. Invite the user. Click the “Invite” button in the top right of the “Team” section, and enter the email of the user you wish to invite in the “Invite Team Member” window. The user will be invited to the project as a guest.
   
3. Edit share privileges. Choose which sections your guest can access by clicking on their profile and editing their privileges. Learn more about guests. You can also make the user a collaborator to give them fuller access to the case.​
