    Hi WVU90SAM, thanks for posting here today! 

     

    I'm afraid that the same behavior remains now. The Team folder would be visible, it would just show as a locked folder. What you could do, is what you already mentioned: move the content under your personal folder.

     

    Your feedback regarding this has been very valuable and I will endeavor to make sure your voice is heard.

     

    If you need anything else, let me know!

Hi, i have the same issue with my team folders, all members see entirely space. It is so distracting. Solution to organize folder structure for shared subfolder only with a full path (Option2). These way it would be much easier to maintain apps that are connected to folders or files with specific full path of the content in different local computers. Thank you Dropbox starting to work on that issue)
