Can I allow other folder members to share the folder with different people?

Is it possible to give people you have shared a folder with permission share that folder with others?

I am working with three organizations and would like to have a person at each organization be able to share the content of their folder set.

    Hi there Dan Laferriere - thanks for using Dropbox and welcome to the Community!

     

    All members of a shared folder are normally able to share the folder with others as they wish, but just to make sure we're on the same page, could you clarify if you're referring to individual Dropbox accounts or team ones instead? 

     

    Thanks!

    I tried sharing a folder and got a message that the email is not a member of my team. Can I share folders with email addresses that are not part of my team without adding a license?

    Hey Dan Laferriere, would you mind sending over a screenshot of the message you get the trying to share the folder, please? 

     

    Also, what Dropbox icon does that folder have?

    Megan,

    this the message I get when I typing an address into the email box.

    This is the icon I'm using, Share folder.

    I think I figured it out. I have to invite them first, then I can share files with them.
