How can a team admin manage Dropbox Transfer files?
As our company admin I am looking for how to manage our files that are uploaded to Dropbox Transfer
- Is there a way to see all files uploaded from all members?
- Is there a way to organize the files, my personal ones just show up as a list?
- Is there a way to create a location to share files publicly with multiple users having access to add?
We don't want to allow for sharing out of individuals storage locations or any of our team folders. Any help is appreciated!

Hey ar1zona1, thanks for reaching out to us.
Just so I know exactly what you mean, are you perhaps referring to the file request feature instead of the transfer one?
The transfer feature allows a user to send files to others, while the file request one allows someone to request files or upload files requested by someone else.
Let me know!

Hi Hannah, I'm actually referring to the dropbox product 'dropbox.com/transfer'
We do not want to be able to share files to the outside world out of our main dropbox storage so we have been using this product. But there does not appear to be a way to manage it from an admin standpoint.

Thanks for the clarification, ar1zona1!
While there are no settings in your admin console regarding Transfer, you can manage your team's transfers and view their activity, by following the steps here.
If you have any feature requests regarding Transfer, you're welcome to take a look at Emma's tips first and then post your own idea for other users to up-vote.

Thanks. I found that earlier. It only allows me to view their activity, not actually view or manage any of the files.
