I want to add my personal Dropbox as a place in Excel, but I'm asked to contact the admin.

I  am trying to enable cosharing between me and a friend. To do that, I am trying to add my Dropbox as a place in Excel, but whenever I log into my Dropbox, which is my personal email, it tells me to contact an admin. But it is my personal email, so I am the admin? Does anyone know what to do?

Thanks!

    Hey tomoster! Thanks for your post. 

    If you’re referring to our co-authoring feature here, please keep in mind that this is a feature only available to Dropbox teams and not individual plans.

    So, it sounds like this is the reason why you’re being asked to get in touch with an admin to do that.

    If there’s something else I can help with though or if I've misunderstood something, feel free to let me know.
