Need help telling users how to access newly added content
I administer a Business Dropbox account that currently has 165 users. There are two folders that the larger audience has access to. I completely relabeled and corrected all of the files and folders s...
Hi ChiFly
Did you rename the shares? If so that doesnt impact upon anything - the shares on all other accounts, and in fact on any new shares you do, will stay with the original name you use. Thats because anybody who is in a share is able to rename it and move it themselves within their own account.
They will have the folders with correct data and permissions assigned, however, it will probably have the old names on them.
With that in mind if you want everybody to have newly named folders you need to start from scratch with setting up (literally creating a new folder) and putting all the data in that and sharing that out.
Just to clarify. The message only appears after I try to add the 177 members (yes, I know the number keeps changing - we keep adding new members!) as view only users. I add the list of emails and specify that they are only view only. Then the error message pops up.
So the answer is that Dropbox limits the number of members you can provide access to. In my case the limit is 75. It has nothing to do with file size or changes that I made; it is purely a random limitation of adds based on some misguided notion that the 76th person added represents a Dropbox miscreant. This is a spurious limitation at best and does nothing more than irritate the administrator and adds hours to the work day!
