Dropbox teams & admins
Got a question about your Dropbox Business account? Get help from users like you. Post a question to get started.
I'm asking about merged accounts, not connected accounts.
I was invited by my company to join the company Dropbox. I was already a private user. I clicked on "merge accounts" as opposed to creating a new account. My private e-mail address was deleted from the account, I was reimbursed my remaining subscription and the accounts were merged. Then I could see my files in two groups "Team folders" and "Everything else". In the Everything else category are my personal files.
Are my company's account admins able to see my personal files that were there prior to the merger? As in - the files in Everything else?
Since then, I have asked the admin to revert my account to a personal one and they did.
Is there anywhere I can see who has access to my personal files?
Hey @daci, thanks for reaching out to us!
When you merge your account to a Business team, you don't lose the email address as it's associated with your account, whether it's individual or part of a team.
Joining a Dropbox Business team doesn't make any of your files or folders available to other team members unless you send them to others as shared folders or shared links.
Also, if you joined a Business Advanced team, team admins do have the ability to sign in to your account using "Sign in as user."
You can find more info about the access that users in a team have in this article.
Let me know if you have any other questions!
