Hi! Checking in to see if there have been any updates since this posted? I have a non-team memberâwho has their own DB accountâand needs access to a team folder. Is there any way to share the entire team folder with them, rather than the files/folders within the folder?

7 years agoHey there jestar,
Thanks for posting your question on the Community!
Currently, you can share team folders with groups that are created by the team's admin and share the content of the folder with users that aren't in your team.
However, some teams have access to the new team folder structure, which allows admins to manage access by adding users and groups. You can find more info here.
I hope this helps to some extent!

Appreciate the quick feedback Lusil! I have admin access and created a new group, but it only shows an option to invite members. When I click this and enter the individual's email, an error message pops up telling me this person is not a team member and cannot add them to the group. Any advice?

Thanks for nudging me back, jestar!
Since this functionality is something we're still considering implementing in the future, your feedback helps us develop a better experience for you.
As soon as there's more info on this, I'll make sure to get back to you.
In the meantime, you can continue sharing the content inside the team folder with users that are not in your team.
I understand that this isn't the ideal reply you were looking for, but I hope it helps!
