[Team admins] What’s New in the Admin Console Settings

We’ve made some big improvements to the Admin Console, and we want to hear what you think!

Managing your Dropbox team just got simpler, faster, and more intuitive. Whether you’re an experienced admin or just getting started, these updates are designed to help you work more efficiently and with greater confidence.

What’s New in Admin Console Settings

• Take action and resolve issues fast: Quickly find what you need—settings, support articles, and team member information—all from a single search bar in the admin console.
• Simpler navigation: We’ve consolidated nearly 80 settings (previously scattered across 30+ pages) into a streamlined structure that’s easier to browse and understand.
  • Global Settings lets you manage settings that apply across all Dropbox products (like Dropbox, Dash, Paper, Sign, and Replay)
  • Dropbox Settings controls Dropbox-specific features (file sharing controls, storage limits, etc)
• Faster experience: Switching between settings no longer requires a full page reload. Everything loads smoothly within the redesigned Admin Console.
• Clearer design: Settings pages now follow our latest design standards, making it easier to see how different settings interact and to understand what changes will do.

Why We Made These Changes to Admin Console

We heard your feedback, and wanted to share what drove this redesign:

• To reduce frustration: The old Settings were spread thinly across many pages and were slow to navigate. The redesign makes finding and updating settings much simpler.
• To save you time: Faster loading, search integration, and direct access to key settings mean admins can spend less time clicking around and more time getting things done.
• To make setup smoother: Especially for new admins, the redesigned flow makes it easier to configure important team settings early on.
• To provide confidence: The new UI makes it clearer what you’re changing, when your changes are saved, and how different options work together.

We’re continuing to improve the Admin Console experience and would love to hear what you think.
