Legacy Planning feature
Can you please add a legacy planning feature which provides capacity to predetermine how folder content is handled upon proof of death or incapacity being received?
Sharing access should be updated as soon as possible. It should not be limited to direct family members, as you currently have it. We have business partners and close friends who we may want to access files before or instead of legal family members, but currently cannot unless a family member grants it to them. Therefore, it is important to allow the owners of the account and storage content to choose who they want to grant access to before a tragic event occurs. Apple has recently implemented this feature with its legacy contact. Please inform me if you are working on this and when we can expect this option to be available for your users. Thank you.

Dropbox Community ModeratorHI garyomartin - thanks for joining the discussion here.
We don't have any updates to add at this moment, but thanks for sharing your thoughts and we'll make sure to pass it along.
Let us know if you have anything else to add.
It is indeed sad that this is not a matter of urgency to Dropbox as people die daily. News Flash!
Having projects on the go with work/colleagues means that at times privacy is required and family members are not amongst those to be privy to developments. In the current climate I would have thought that this topic, first here raised back in 2022, would have been picked up by now as something that needs addressing. I would never want my family to access my dropbox ... none, absolutely none of their business what my business partners and I are working on.IT Legacy will be more and more a topic and eventually Dropbox will have to step up to the plate. hoping this is sooner than later.
