Hide Users from Seeing Unshared Team Folders

Hide Users from Seeing Unshared Team Folders

So, there are folders that area to be seen and accessed by some users.  Other users shouldn't have access to them, and additionally, those users should not be able to see that those folders exist.  They should be able to be hidden, if admin desires.

 

Please add this feature.

 

Thank you.

Hi @mikeshick, Dropbox product team member here. We're working on an update of the Team Space experience and I hear your feedback. We want to make it so that Team Folders are invisible to the team members they are not shared with. Part of that work is understanding how much to expose when members have access somewhere down the tree. For example, if there is a Team Folder structure like Accounting/Payroll/2023/Market Research, and you give a team member access directly to the Market Research folder. How would you say their Dropbox view should look:

 

1. With the full path of the folder exposed: Accounting/Payroll/2023/Market Research so that they understand where the folder exists and how to navigate to it

2. With only /Market Research visible so they have no exposure to which folder it lives in. 

 

And team members who have no access to Accounting wouldn't see the folder at all.

Would love to hear your thoughts!
