Can the team folders be hidden?
We have a lot of shared folders visible with the staff but when opened, it is empty as the contents are not share with most of the staff...
is there any way to make these folders be hidden instead?
it would be great if these folders can be hidden to staff that are not accessing these folders or doesn't belong to such team.

Hi Richard Anthony, thanks for bringing this to our attention.
Just for clarification, are these normal shared folders, or are they team folders (if you're part of a Dropbox Business team)?
This will help me to assist further!

Hi Jay,
These are team folders, like the Finance folders, HR folders etc, we can click to open and access it but since we are not part of that department, the contents are hidden/cannot be seen. it would be great if these folders can be hidden to staff that are not accessing these folders...

You can use groups to invite certain people to view or edit folders. Any person not a member of these groups wouldn't be able to see those folders at all.
Just make sure to remove the default 'Everyone at' group, once you've assigned the group members to the folders, in order to remove the entire team from those folders.
