Users are reporting a new folder in their view of the root folders in Dropbox (business). It consists of their name and then a list of folders/files that appear to be cloud links.

 

What is the logic for what is now shown inside and outside this folder? 


I see the versions indicated these are not new files but references to existing files, and I'm concerned that users may now see (or even just be alerted to) files they possibly shouldn't be seeing. When was this change implemented, and where is it documented?

Hey @msaunders, thanks for reaching out to our Community.

 

It looks like your team was recently introduced to the new version of Dropbox Business.

 

In this version, you have the team member folder, which is the folder with each user's name that you mentioned and the 'team space'.

 

Your team space operates as a shared space for your entire Dropbox team, like a shared drive, whereas the team member folder is basically each user's personal folder.

 

You can read more about this here, but if you have any questions, let us know.

 

Cheers!
