To share a file or folder with a group of users, create a collaboration using the group ID, the ID of the file or folder, and the role or permissions level the group should have when accessing the file or folder.
The collaboration roles are editor, viewer, previewer, uploader, previewer uploader, viewer uploader, co-owner, or owner. For a full description of each role, please refer to our support documentation.

​
Nested objects

When creating a collaboration there are two nested objects within the request body: accessible_by and item. The accessible_by object specifies who the item should be shared with and includes a group id and the type. The type field should always be set to group. The item object specifies what is being shared. It includes a type field which should be set as file or folder, and an id for that file or folder.
