Can I control how much space each Family member can use?

Hi
In family account, can I control amount of GB each member can use?
Or it is just a division of 2TB by number of family members....
Thanks

    Hi Gp300! Thanks for posting your question here today.

     

    At the moment, it’s not possible to apply restrictions to the amount of space each Family members uses, I’m afraid.

     

    The content each member adds to Dropbox counts toward the total 2TB of space, meaning that everyone can add as many files as they want till the Family's total storage (2TB) runs out.

     

    If you want though, I can pass this along to our team as feedback.

     

    Let me know.

    Also, regarding uploading location, will each member location reside under one master location? Like can each member see others photo?....
