Thank you for replying, Megan. Mine is set to Admin Only, but the member was able to create Shared Folders rather than Team Folders. I need to be able to prevent all top-level creation.

Dropbox Community ModeratorHi rhstowe, did they create these folders inside their personal space?
What you can do, is visit this page, and you should be able to prevent your members from sharing externally any content, unless it's with another member.
As the page indicates: Limit who your members can invite to files and folders. Keep in mind this setting doesn’t affect existing access.
But if the content is in their personal space, they would still be able to create new folders, just not share them.
The files were created at the root level. The Shared Folders are the ones created by a Team Member. The Team Folder was created by an Administrator.
The folders were not created in their personal space. They were created at the root (top) level. The shared folders were created by the team member (not admin, and the team folder was created by the admin.
