    Hey Rothman and Company, sorry to jump in here. 

     

    If you go to the content tab in your admin console, are you able to create a team folder from there?

     

    If you can do it from there, but not the all files page or your main Dropbox folder, you might have the top-level content management setting set to "only admins".

     

    Setting this to "everyone" should allow you to create folders from "all files" and your Dropbox folder.

Hi ramisamo, you will only be able to create folders on the business account via the admin console. It isn't possible to do so via Explorer.
