37 TopicsGet your Team Started with Dropbox
Getting your team on board is an important part of setting yourself up for success with Dropbox. It might be a daunting process to some, but don't worry - you're not alone! Dropbox has a few suggestions for getting your team started. Take a look at this help article to see how to invite team members through the admin console, a reminder email, and SSO invites. Now it’s your turn: how would you invite others to join your Dropbox workspace? 💬 Share your approach in the comments below and tell us what worked best when getting your team started with Dropbox!2.6KViews0likes0CommentsThe team admin could access my private folder when I joined the team
I had a personal Dropbox account for a decade. In the last 2 years, I have been included in a team account. I remember how the system looked skecthy and not reassuring in terms of privacy after joining the team, but I trust dropbox. My home folder had looked "only" shared with myself. Yesterday, my team leader decided to shut down the team account, but I lost all my personal/private files. Then I learned, somehow the team leader could move my files without my permission and put them all to a team member's space. My team member now has full access to my files. What kind of a irresponsibility is this? How could Dropbox, which is in bussiness for more than a decade, allow that? I had my old tax forms, bills, ID scans etc. in there, now someone else can access them? How? My privacy is violated, and how can I trust dropbox ever again?188Views0likes5CommentsMy team invitation isn't working - when I try to join the team I get a blank page
I am trying to join a dropbox team that stores technical data for my employer. He has sent an invitation four different times now, and I still can't access the team. While the invitation pops up for me to join, when I try to join the team I get a blank page. Refreshing doesn't resolve the page, I've tried closing the browser and reopening the link, restarting my computer, and clearing all other app activity. If I open the link and reopen dropbox, it shows the invitation but does not add me to the team. I've tried logging out and logging back in, and that doesn't resolve the issue either. Any potential solutions would be great.Solved172Views0likes3CommentsThe Dropbox site reloads every time I try to join a team via an invitation
I received an invitation to join a team but every time I click on the "join" button, Dropbox automatically log me out because the session "expired" and I have to re-enter my password, after re enter newly my password it happens the same story, the page reloads and it asks again for my password because the session expired ,and the story continues the same way.159Views0likes4CommentsAdding a new person shouldn't add them to the Dropbox Team
Recently we have added two entry level members to our firm. We purchased licenses for them and wanted to add them to SOME Dropbox folders pertinent to their work. Unfortunately, Dropbox is telling me that the only way to add a person is to add a new person to the Team and this gives them access to EVERY folder in the firm's Dropbox. The only fix is to add a new person then delete the Team access to the folder and then individually reinvite people to each folder. How can Dropbox think this is a good idea? A person joining on their first day has access to most secret information the firm has, if only temporarily it's still a bad idea. Not to mention the vast amount of time and data consumed deleting off the Managing Partners and Partners and then having them resync and download. There's got to be a better way. Dropbox suggested that all new employees could have individual plans but that's just silly and an administrative burden.Solved182Views0likes3Comments
