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?

Well, Richard P.  It might be 'the way Dropbox wants it to work', but perhaps people want to use it differently.  I pay for a membership and as a customer, I would like more control of how I send files. They can disregard the seven of us who have tried to figure this out, or try to hard to assume that there are thousands of people who feel this exact way. This isn't rocket science. Dropbox should want to be as accommodating as possible. That's good customer service. If we are taking time to write this out, You (Super User) and Dropbox need to listen and be responsive about how this can happen.

I also need to hide the users who share my folder, as sending a link does not work for my needs. My users do not want their names and email addresses available to all who share the folder.

be great if this feature happened. make it an option, so you can be collaborative or not. otherwise you have duplicate the folder and share with people individually which is a complete hassle and waste

I'd like to see this feature added as my clients are also essentially competitors with each other.  Making separate folders for each of them to access the same information is a waste of my paid for space!

I can't believe this option does not exist!! I want to use this for sharing - NOT collaborating. I have competing customers that I need to get information and images to and not see who each other is. This is stupid. I need to SHARE, not collaborate! Might have to close my account!

I just realised that this feature is NOT available. And I think its embarassing to Dropbox that its not available. I have just signed up to Dropbox and paid for a Business account. I am now reviewing the competition to find a superior offering. Sorry Dropbox, you have been dropped. let me know when you give the customers what they are asking for, and perhaps I will rejoin. Not happy, Dropbox.

Very disappointed about the collaboration comment. Sounded like resistance to me. I should be able to collaborate and show only whom I choose to see it. Especially, if I own the folder. I'd like to see this feature implemented on Dropbox Pro.

This subject has been open for over a year and a half. Dropbox are aware however refuse to do anything about. I'm leaving to find something that will show photos but not a list of who's sharing...

dropbox is deadbox, it's about as useful as a chocolate fire guard to me... and you lot also by the sounds of things!!
