Can I move another person's shared folder into a subfolder within my account?
I have accepted another persons shared folder into my dropbox. Now I want to move that shared folder from the main dropbox folder to a subfolder but it does not move. Well it creates two version which is really strange.

How, exactly, are you moving the folder? Are you dragging and dropping it within the Dropbox folder on your computer, or are you using the Dropbox website to move it?
If you're doing this in the Dropbox folder on your computer, remember that your operating system controls how a drag and drop is handled. You may need to hold a modifier key (Shift on WIndows, ⌘ on Mac) to force a move.
