# Guest Domain

### What are guest domains? <a href="#what-are-guest-domains" id="what-are-guest-domains"></a>

Guest domains are email domains that internal users (primary domain users) can share files with. Only domains that are added to the guest domains are allowed access to links shared by internal users (primary domain users).

By default, there are no guest domains added to an organization, which means internal users can share files/folders with any email domain. Only admins can add/remove/update a guest domain.
