Hey,
I work in a 14 person team(previously more than double), we've previously been using dropbox as a means of sharing media assets with outside clients. We've had this account for a long time and have 34 people(outside the team) that we've shared folders within the past 5 years.
My question: Does sharing with outside clients require or increase the amount of licenses we have to pay for? We're currently have 38 licenses.
Thanks,
Lewis
Hi @Lewis_SL, thanks for contacting us.
Sharing normal folders to other users will not add a license to your Dropbox Business team.
Depending on your security settings, if a shared folder is restricted to members of your team, then invites to that folder would also be invites to join the team.
If you have any further queries, feel free to message back.
