    Hi exx 

     

    1) yes - to do that create a folder on your device and then unsync it after it appears online at www.dropbox.com/home using Selective Sync. Then you can just upload to it via the website. OR easier, so they still show on the computer, you could use Smart Sync?

     

    2) yes you can have unlimited people, but, remember each person costs - so its a minimum of 3 at £18per person per month (I'm UK so your pricing will be diff if you are not) with each extra 'seat' or licence costing another £18pppm

Hey Andy Johnn, thanks for posting here!

 

With Dropbox Business Advanced plans, admins have the option to "sign in as user", which allows them to sign in to a member's account.

 

They can indeed access and delete files, if they want.

 

You can read more about the feature here.
