    Hello, we have an update on this ask.

     

    We now support Family managers allowing other plan members admin privilege, including inviting other team members.

    To do this, go to dropbox.com/account/family, click on the menu next to a family member’s name and select “Grant admin privileges”.

     

    Note: the Family manager who pays for the account will still have some unique ability to manage the billing. 

     

    Hope that helps!

Hi @phq, the Family Manager can perform these actions on the team, which normal members are not able to do.

Thanks for your answer.

However, I was not referring to "Family Manager".

 

I would like to ask what are the privileges of a family member after I click "Grant admin privileges" to him/her ???

Please see my screenshot below.

 

Thank you for your time!

 

Best,

P

    Hi pqh!

     

    Family members with admin privileges can invite other members to the Family plan. 

     

    They should be able to do so. Let me know if you have any other questions.
