I organized our folder, but the changes aren't showing up for others accessing it
Hi, I'd like to ask; I organized our folder in dropbox, why is it that it doesn't reflect on someone who has also access with it? Thanks

Hello bdle22, sorry for jumping in.
While you can rename and move a shared folder in your account, it is not moved or renamed for the other members of the shared folder.
Also when you delete a shared folder from your account, it is not deleted for the other members. The only way to remove it for everyone, is to unshare the folder, if you are the owner.
Hope that helps.

The members are all added from my end. But it doesn't appear to them how it appears on me. I organized the folders, so there is much moving, but it did not appear on the members' end the way I organized it. I also added new folders and remove some, but why the removed folder, still appears on them? Is it possible that I can edit the way I want it to be, but it wont reflect on their end, since I am not the owner of the folder? The access was shared to me as an editor.
