Hide the members of a shared folder

Hide the members of a shared folder

Hi,
My company uses Dropbox (free and company versions) to share files with external people of the company. We would like to know if it's possible to hide the name and the email address of the members of the folder to the other members. And if it's not possible yet, I think it would be a good idea to improve Dropbox, don't you think?

My PC comment: "the ability to hide members would be of significant benefit to the Dropbox community"

surely this feature should exist otherwise I am about to move on - if I share a folder with clients, they should not be able to see each other's emails and names.

No. It's not possible to hide the members from one another. Shared folders are meant for collaboration. As such, information about whom you're collaborating with is shown to all members.

Share links do not reveal information about the other people using them, though they're meant for viewing and/or downloading only. People with the link cannot modify your files or upload content to the folder.

This feature needs to be added. Baffling that it is not included.

Its not baffling, its the way Dropbox want it to work - everyone gets to see who they are collaborating with.
