How can I move a shared folder I don't own out of my root directory?
I have clicked on a link to see a shared folder for which I have editing privilege.
The folder is in my dropbox in the root directory, but it is no use to me there, I need it in another place in the directory structure.
I cannot see how to move it, I can move the directories inside the main folder, but then it will disappear form the other peoples dropbox.
I do not mind having two copies of it all as I have the space, but need to find a way to either move the main directory or the sub directory's to a different location within my dropbox without causing an issue to the person who shared with me and keep two way link enabled.
I am doing this online in the web application, I do not use the desktop application,
Thank you

You should be able to move or rename the shared folder as needed, without affecting any other member of the folder. Refer to this help article for information.
But when I click on the ellipsis I do not get the move option. it is the only folder in my dropbox that this is a problem with, all other folders including ones shared with me have the move option, but this folder is very restricted .
I just tohught I would try to remove it and re add it, but I also have discovered I cannot delete it!

Is it a Teams folder instead? I found that sometimes they are locked
