Updated over 2 weeks ago

Default Drive Name

Teams created after May 12, 2025 will have their Drive Name formatted this way by default: your team's name with hyphens (-) used to replace any spaces.

For example, a team called "Flower Productions" will have this Drive Name in Suite: Flower-Productions.

Teams created before May 12, 2025 will continue to have Suite as their team's default Drive Name.

⚠️ Updating your team's Drive Name is a global change impacting all team members. For example, changing the Drive Name also changes the underlying path for all of your files in Suite, which may require relinking media in your projects.

1. Click on the Team Menu ().

2. Click Team Configuration.

3. In Drive Name, change it to the desired new name, then Confirm Drive Name.


4. To apply the changed Drive Name, all team members must eject (⏏️) then remount (Mount Drive) that drive in Suite.
