Hi @dana50 , thanks for bringing this to our attention.

 

Are you trying to create the folder from the main Dropbox page, or via the admin console?

 

This will help me to assist further!

Are you trying to create a folder in your personal folder, or in the team space for your account?

Thanks for the info. In order to add folders into a team folder, you'd need to add them from the Dropbox site or the admin console directly.
