Hey there ReplayGuitar, 

That's an excellent workaround! :heart_eyes:

There shouldn't be an issue doing this, just that when you do move the content, there may be a re-index of this event for members. 

Let us know if you have any other questions!

I have sort of the reverse issue. We have dropbox users outside our Dropbox Business Team who want to share folders with us. But when they share a folder to one of our team members, it goes into the purple folder (the person's individual folder) and cannot be moved into the team space. How can we get it so non-team members can share folders with our whole team, and we can view them in the team space?

    Hi there DaraG, 

    Thanks for reaching out to us!

    If the team member has edit access to the shared folder, they should be able to move or copy-paste it to the team space. 

    Let me know if this helps!
