Cannot move shared folder if I am not the owner
I am trying to reorganize my dropbox because I literally have thousands of folders, and I need them to be more logically nested. This is no problem with shared folders that I own, but I can't move a...
Personal account. No "teams" or anything like that as far as I know.
Someone invites me to view or edit a folder, or sends me a link to a folder. (I don't know where that folder falls within their own dropbox account structure.) I add it to my own dropbox account, or join the folder, etc.
Regardless of the specifics above, the end result of the above is that there's a new shared folder in the top level of my dropbox account. I am not the owner of that folder.
What I have always been able to do is then move that folder into a subfolder, so that my top-level doesn't become a disorganized mess. That subfolder itself is unshared, but it contains many other folders shared with other people, some of which I'm the owner of, some of which I'm not. As recently as two weeks ago (or maybe three), I was able to do this, without any problem at all. I'd just drag the new top-level shared folder into the other folder, and voila, it moved.
I can no longer do that.
Matthew S.50, Did you try move that folder using Dropbox web? If not, give it a try; it may succeed. 😉
Good luck.
