User can't belong to multiple teams
I tried to add a team member for dropbox business, but I get the message that she cannot join bc she is part of another team. She works on both projects, and I need her to have access to these files. Why can't someone be part of multiple teams?Solved12KViews5likes10Comments
Way to stop Dropbox disallow people from requesting to join our team?
Is there a way to not give people the option to join our team? Every time I send a file to someone outside of my dropbox team (which is almost daily) they must get some kind of additional email telling them they can request to join our team, because I usually get a follow up email with random people who got the file asking to be part of my company's team. Is there a way to stop this? Or lock our team from outsiders?7.7KViews10likes19Comments
Family Plan Invite: 'An error occurred'
Greetings, all! I've been through the community posts, Googled, searched Reddit, etc....no luck so far on this one. I've received an invite to a Dropbox Family Plan, but when I try to accept the invite using the "Join" button, it gives me a vague exception at the bottom of the screen: "An error has occurred. Please contact your family manager for help." But I'm on the phone with my family manager, and he doesn't see anything useful on his side. I've gone through the Troubleshooting on the help site (https://help.dropbox.com/plans/troubleshoot-family-plan), but none of those things seem to apply to my account or this situation. I've tried multiple browsers, with/without VPN, cleared cookies, etc. No joy. Ideas?Solved4.5KViews0likes18Comments
Complicated Account Question
I had my own Dropbox professional account. I was then added to another law firm's Dropbox account - a Standard account. I received my refund from Dropbox since I paid for the Standard account annually. I do work for this other law firm from time to time and need regular access to it. I now need to add an employee to my own law firm who does not need access to this other law firm's Dropbox but does need access to my firm's files. However, I am now in the other firm's Standard plan. How do I make it so I can add a new user that only has access to my firm's files and not this other firm while also making sure I have access to both the other firm's files and my own? Thank you!Solved4.5KViews0likes12Comments
Do team members need a license?
I AM THE EXEC OFFICER OF A NONPROFIT ASSOCIATION OF PUBLIC PORTS AND MANY OF THEM HAVE DROPBOX FOR THEIR PORT OPERATIONS, AND THEY WANT A DROPBOX ACCOUNT FOR THIS ASSOCIATION. MY QUESTION IS - IF THEY WORK FOR A PORT AND ARE ABLE TO USE THEIR PORT DROPBOX, DO THEY ALSO HAVE TO PAY TO ACCESS THE NWMTA DROPBOX ACCOUNT?Solved4.4KViews0likes9Comments
Edu account now designated as work
It’s been a while since I logged in. Trying to find a certain file. I login with an .edu email address and I’m informed I can either keep that as is and let the University have access to my files and admin rights (work account), or I can change to a personal email/account. I enter my gmail.com email but it says there’s already an account with that email. I cannot access my files unless I give my alma mater access and admin rights. Am I being forced to create another gmail account so that I can migrate my files? What’s the workaround here? There are no files in my gmail/Dropbox account. And this looks like the only spot to submit this question.Solved2.8KViews1like4CommentsAdmin account deleted and re-registered but need to re-join team
I was the admin of my Dropbox Team when my account was mistakenly added to a new team. I have since removed myself from the new team, but in the process my account was deleted. I had to wait 7 days to re-register with the same email address. Now I cannot join my old team because there is no admin on that team to have me join the old team. Please advise!Solved2.5KViews0likes7Comments
