We have a Dropbox Standard account at work and we have countless files and folders in the root of our team folder giving "Everyone at..." full access to the data. We have 3 Team Admins and we would like to restrict certain folders from one of those Admins. Our only option appears to be removing "everyone at..." from the files. Is there an easy way for us to "deselect" some of the files and folders from this Admin or do we have to set up separate groups? One with the 3 Admins and one without said Admin? I would appreciate any help I can get with this, thank you!
Hi @katherine1377, thanks for messaging the Community!
The 'Everyone at...' group is enabled by default, and can't be edited. However, it can be removed from any team folders, which would remove access to that folder.
Afterwards, you can instead create groups, which can include any specific user, namely the three admins only. Once the group is created, you can add it to any folder you want.
If you have any further queries, feel free to message back.
