Invite user to team and add them to another group
Hi,
With a dropbox business account, how can I add/invite a member to join the team and then assign the member toa different dropbox group and not the default one.
Thanks,
Thomas
Thanks Jay for the reply.
You had written in your reply
"If you want the user to just be a member of a new group, you'll need to invite them to a new group."
Can you please advise on how to invite a user to a new group.
Thanks,

Dropbox Community ModeratorHello Walter , thank you for your response.
To clarify, I won't have the initial ability to directly invite or add a user to a new group right away. However, once the user has joined the platform, I'll be able to include them in both a new group and the default group they initially joined.
Here's the plan I'll follow in that case
1. Establish distinct groups with limited membership privileges.
2. Exclude the default group from the primary folder.
3. Grant the necessary folder access to the respective groups.
Thanks,

Hi eapen, that's the correct method on how to restrict access to folders. Separate groups with differing privileges allows you to assign those groups to specific folders to whatever they need to see.
The 'Everyone at' group could still be used for 'generic information; folders, like company rules, safety protocols, and the like, which all staff need to follow regardless of their level.
Hi Jay , Thanks for the reply.
When i share a folder with a group, is there a way i can stop the email notification being sent to the members in the group.
I do not want to sent to the members email notification each time a folder is shared since most of the folders are already shared.
Thanks,
Eapen Thomas
