Hey kdominguez, thanks for using Dropbox and posting on our Community!

I'm afraid that you won't be able to turn this folder into a team folder with your current setup. 

You'll need to create a new team folder, copy or move the original folder's content, and then share it as needed. 

I would assume that your formulas could break in this case, so you may need to recreate them. 

I wish I had a better answer.
