Does Figma Have Access to My Files?

Last updated on September 29, 2022 @ 9:35 am

When it comes to file sharing, there are a lot of questions that come up. One of the most popular questions is “Does Figma have access to my files?”

The answer to this question is a bit complicated and depends on a few different factors.

First, it’s important to understand how Figma works. Figma is a cloud-based design platform that allows users to create, edit, and collaborate on design projects.

When you create a project in Figma, your project files are stored in the cloud. This means that anyone with the link to your project can access your files.

PRO TIP: If you are concerned about Figma having access to your files, we recommend that you take the following precautions:

– Do not store sensitive or confidential information in your Figma account.
– Be aware that Figma may have access to files that you upload, including any personal information that they may contain.
– If you share files with others using Figma, be aware that they may also have access to your personal information.
– Review the Figma Privacy Policy (https://www.figma.com/privacy) for more information about how Figma collects, uses, and shares your personal information.

However, there are some privacy settings that you can use to control who has access to your files. For example, you can set your project to “Private” so that only people who are invited to the project can view or edit the files.

Or, you can set your project to “Secret” so that only people with the link can view the files, but not edit them.

Another factor that comes into play is what type of account you have with Figma. If you have a free account, then anyone with the link to your project can view or edit your files (unless you change the privacy settings).

If you have a paid account, then you have more control over who can access your files. For example, with a paid account, you can set it so that only people with a specific email domain can view or edit your files.

So, does Figma have access to my files? It depends.

If you have a free account and haven’t changed the privacy settings, then anyone with the link to your project can view or edit your files. If you have a paid account and have changed the privacy settings, then you have more control over who can access your files.
