I can’t create new folders or move existing ones from my root Dropbox
This new file system for teams is absolutely awful and workflow-destroying. We can no longer create new folders or move folders on the root of the dropbox. That such a basic feature. Whenever I want ...
Hi Wayne! Thank you so much for sharing this feedback with us. We're actively working on improvements to both of these experiences, based on your feedback. In the meantime, if you right click at the top-level, you should have a "Create folder and share" option. It will redirect you to web to complete the folder creation, but you should be automatically signed in, which hopefully makes it a little less onerous. I will share an update here as we make improvements. Thank you again for your feedback, we really appreciate it!

Dropbox Community ModeratorThanks for posting on the forum, daveyp.
To clarify, do you mean that you’re unable to create new folders/move them from your root Dropbox to another location both on the website and the desktop app?
Are you receiving any errors when trying to move them? If yes, feel free to send a screenshot, as well.
Let me know when you’ve got updates.
Hi Nancy,
In finder on a mac you cant created new folders on the root of the dropbox, not drag folders in or drag to move folders in to other folders.
On web you can make new folders on the root, but you still can't move them, only copy, oh and this requires the admin console I believe.
It's a huge step back for useability.
