Bypass Request Permission to Join Folder on "anyone with the link can edit" folders

It would be helpful in certain situations to be able to bypass the the "request permission to join folder" prompt when sharing a folder via a anyone with the link can edit permission. We already set the link to be anyone with the link. If they have the link, I'd like them to be able to edit the folder. This is already how it behaves in individual accounts.

    This is for team accounts. I made a secondary free account that had no affiliation with my org and then there was no prompt to request access when sharing a link that had "anyone with the link can edit" permissions.

    Welcome to the community W_B_​, to make sure I understand you correctly I have a question or two.

    What type of Dropbox plan are you on? Is this an individual account or are you creating these folders on a team plan?

    Can I have some clarification on what you mean by "This is already how it behaves in individual accounts." Can you explain where this functionality is behaving differently now?
