    <description>&lt;P&gt;Hi Fiona, you mention 'early access' - is this just limited to some business accounts currently? If so, when will it be released to all accounts?&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Thank you&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <title>Try the File locking Dropbox feature.</title>
      <link>https://www.dropboxforum.com/t5/Security-and-Permissions/Try-the-File-locking-Dropbox-feature/m-p/373788#M1844</link>
      <description>&lt;P&gt;Can you explain the the File Locking system through the early access program so we won't have conflicting versions? We would like to know how this feature works and if it is right for us.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Thank You&lt;/P&gt;

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Thanks for joining Community&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="https://www.dropboxforum.com/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/1222777"&gt;@Trinity2019&lt;/a&gt;.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;I am so excited to talk about the "File locking" Early Access Business feature!&amp;nbsp;&lt;img class="lia-deferred-image lia-image-emoji" src="https://www.dropboxforum.com/html/@AEF569BFDD1DD3EB9180949D237CD92A/images/emoticons/1f600.png" alt=":grinning:" title=":grinning:" /&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;You can now lock a file that is contained in a shared folder. This way you can prevent people from editing the file, even if you have given them edit rights on the folder.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Locked files have a lock icon on them but can be viewed by all collaborators of the folder.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Only the one that locked the file or the admin signed in as the user, will be able to edit this file until it is unlocked.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;I think this is going to be very useful. Let me know what you think and if you have any questions!&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Is this file locking mechanism automatic or do we have to right click and lock/unlock the file?&lt;/P&gt;</description>

&lt;P&gt;Team Admins can enable the feature on the &lt;A href="https://www.dropbox.com/team/admin/settings/early_access" target="_blank"&gt;Early Access page&lt;/A&gt; within Settings in their Admin console.&lt;/P&gt;</description>

&lt;P&gt;Thanks for adding your experience with the file locking feature missing in this discussion.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Please try to access the "Early releases" section of your Admin console, from an incognito window/private browsing mode of your browser.&amp;nbsp;If you still don't see the file locking feature, please respond to the email I've sent you.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;You will find it checking the inbox of the address associated with your Community profile.&amp;nbsp;&lt;img class="lia-deferred-image lia-image-emoji" src="https://www.dropboxforum.com/html/@E2F7D53C249D2CA37FB0CD78E32CFDED/images/emoticons/1f913.png" alt=":nerd:" title=":nerd:" /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;img class="lia-deferred-image lia-image-emoji" src="https://www.dropboxforum.com/html/@57C7D91998721DF4DFD936069281E68A/images/emoticons/2709.png" alt=":envelope:" title=":envelope:" /&gt;&lt;/P&gt;

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Hi&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="https://www.dropboxforum.com/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/1258933"&gt;@mikedag&lt;/a&gt;!&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;The file locking feature is no longer an "Early release" and it is expected not to see it under "Early releases".&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;It will be gradually rolled out to all Business teams. You can check if you already have it under, "&lt;A href="https://www.dropbox.com/team/admin/content" target="_blank" rel="noopener"&gt;Content&lt;/A&gt;".&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;I hope you do! If you don't, you will have it soon.&amp;nbsp;&lt;img class="lia-deferred-image lia-image-emoji" src="https://www.dropboxforum.com/html/@BEEAA17610EBE252DA0E57250B296A61/images/emoticons/1f642.png" alt=":slight_smile:" title=":slight_smile:" /&gt;&lt;/P&gt;

      <description>Appreciate your response&amp;nbsp; I do see locked files tab in my admin , but no option for the users in the web browser&amp;nbsp; on how they can select a file for "locking" ty again&amp;nbsp; this is an important tool for us , i think badge helps to alert us for MS products but this seems good(better solution if we really need to have 1 user in a file at a time) for those and other files ?</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Have the members try the following steps:&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;OL&gt;
&lt;LI&gt;&lt;A href="https://www.dropbox.com/login" target="_blank" rel="noopener"&gt;Sign in to dropbox.com&lt;/A&gt;.&lt;/LI&gt;
&lt;LI&gt;Click&lt;SPAN&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;Files&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/SPAN&gt;in the left column.&lt;/LI&gt;
&lt;LI&gt;Click&lt;SPAN&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;…&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/SPAN&gt;(ellipsis) next to the file name.&lt;/LI&gt;
&lt;LI&gt;Click&lt;SPAN&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;Lock Editing&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/SPAN&gt;or&lt;SPAN&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;Unlock Editing&lt;/STRONG&gt;.&lt;/LI&gt;
&lt;/OL&gt;
&lt;P&gt;If they don't have the option to lock, it seems like the feature has not rolled out to your team yet. But as mentioned, it will show up soon.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;I understand how important this is. This feature is a real problem solver!&amp;nbsp;&lt;img class="lia-deferred-image lia-image-emoji" src="https://www.dropboxforum.com/html/@E2F7D53C249D2CA37FB0CD78E32CFDED/images/emoticons/1f913.png" alt=":nerd:" title=":nerd:" /&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;I hope you have it already!&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Hi, I can see the "Locked files" tab under Content. However, I cannot find the option to lock individual files on Dropbox.com, the Desktop app or File Explorer. Do i still need to enable this feature somewhere first? Thanks&lt;/P&gt;</description>

&lt;P&gt;You can check if this is enabled for the team under the Settings tab in the Admin console &lt;A href="https://www.dropbox.com/team/admin/settings/file_locking" target="_blank" rel="noopener"&gt;here&lt;/A&gt;. Do you see this option toggled "On"?&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Let me know - thanks!&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Hi,&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;I have a computer at home and at work that both have dropbox installed, and I use the same login on both computers.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;In this instance, how does file locking handle this if I lock a file from one PC and then use another with the same account?&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Hey&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="https://www.dropboxforum.com/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/1265485"&gt;@Tristan_&lt;/a&gt;, thanks for joining the discussion here!&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;The file will be locked for that user's account rather than a specific device.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;So locking the file from one device connected to your account won't prevent you from being able to open the same file on another device connected to that account.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;I hope that helps, let me know if you have any other questions!&lt;/P&gt;</description>
