Prevent your team members from creating, renaming, moving or deleting certain sub-folders in the team space, thanks Sean

Dropbox Community ModeratorHi from me as well, modelit!
After playing around with folders and their permissions in a team folder, I found that this is how you can achieve what you're looking for:
So, say you have a team folder "A" and all team members have edit access to that folder, and within, you have a subfolder "B" that certain team members or groups have view-only access to.
In order to ensure that folder "B" can't be renamed or moved, you can add a subfolder as a mediator: Folder A / Mediator folder / Folder B.
If you grant 'can view' access to the members or groups you'd like to the mediator folder, they won't be able to then modify Folder B.
I understand that it isn't exactly what you're asking for, but it is a doable workaround.
Hi Hannah
thank you I have tried this and it works, not exactly what I was after but it would allow me to set up some folders to prevent team members form moving, deleting etc, thank you again
