This resource represents a channel where Files can be shared across Clients and Companies. Items associated with a channel are only accessible to the members of that channel. The members of the channel are users in a workspace including both clients and internal users.
Based on the membershipType of a file channel, the client members are either pre-determined or fluid. An individual file channel has a single client; a company file channel has all clients associated with the corresponding company.
On the other hand, a group file channel has a fluid list of clients within a company (it could potentially have one, several, or even all clients within the company). The members of a group file channel can be added or removed via the UI.
The membershipEntityId is a convenience property for individual and company file channels that allows you to easily identify the source entity for that file channel (without having to e.g. search through the memberIds).
