Hi Anthro Admin, thanks for bringing this to our attention.

 

Are you creating the folders while on the main Dropbox page, or while logged into the admin console?

 

This will help me to assist further!

    The folders are created on the main Dropbox page, however I just did a test to see if I could do it while logged into the admin console and it worked.  Some of our team members also create folders on the main page that cannot access the admin console, so it is not an effective workaround. 

     

    Thank you for investigating.

      Have you recently changed this setting in the admin console about top-level editing?
