I'm looking at Dropbox Business and have a few questions about personal folders.
1. Can users covered by my Dropbox Business account create personal folders within the Dropbox Business structure or does an admin have to create them?
2. If users can create personal folders, are the names of the personal folders and their contents visible to everyone covered by the Dropbox Business account even if they are not shared by the user who created them?
3. Can an admin see all of the folders and files in a Dropbox Business account including personal folders/files even if they haven't been shared by the person who created them?
4. I understand that users can link their personal Dropbox accounts with a Dropbox Business account but, if they can create personal folders within Dropbox Business, do they need a personal Dropbox account?

Thanks--very helpful!
Thanks Jay - I had the same question and follow up: How do you have a paired personal account to DropBox Business? (If I have just one personal email account I use)
My issue is I work for a small startup that wants to use DropBox Business - however I only have a personal email and personal DropBox account.
I thought there were only two options: Either join the new business account and transfer my personal files to this account, or I have to create a separate DropBox account for personal with a new email (which I don't have).
