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?7.5KViews10likes19Comments
Hiding unshared Team folders from non-member Team members
I'm setting up a new Team Folder. Previously, users only saw the folders that they had access to. Now, all folders are listed. Those that they don't have permission to see are showing up with a Folder/Building/- symbol indicating that they don't have permission to see what's in those folders. I don't want unshared folders to be visible to everyone. Some of these folders are top-level company members only. I know this has been addressed in the past and at that time the only workaround was to set up all of the folders in your Personal Team Member folder. I am really hoping that there has been a change in the parameters since this post was made and resolved. https://www.dropboxforum.com/t5/Security-and-Permissions/Creating-locked-folders-that-are-invisible-to-rest-of-your-team/td-p/269177 This option seems like it would be an essential option everyone needs. Does one really need everyone on the team to know that there's a folder for Company Payroll or Payroll Review? or even as basic as Accounting? In my experience, people only want to see in the folders that they know the name of but yet don't have access to. I'm doing a Dropbox cutover this weekend and just discovered this issue. Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!!! The worst case is that I set them all up under my personal folder now and move them out if I find out that there's a better resolution out there.

Disbanding my account
Hello! I am trying to disband my dropbox account and they are telling me to log into my admin credentials? What is this and how do I find that login page? There actually aren't even members on a team, I am the admin and only user connected to the account. Additionally how do I access the Locked State Decision Page? Thank YOU!Solved2.5KViews1like2Comments
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.Solved2.8KViews1like4CommentsDropbox promoting team membership to random folder share recipients?
I recently shared a work folder with a mix of client and (their) sponsor staff. Soon after that I started receiving requests to join our business team. I've never seen this before so I'm assuming Dropbox decided it was in their business (profit) interest to push business account holders to fill up their team slots, so they need to ask for more? Now I suddenly have to deny all of these requests and explain that 'no, you don't need to join my team to have all the file access you need for this project.' And that 'team members are intended to be our business colleagues that need much broader file access, but Dropbox has just started promoting this to drive up their revenue.' It's extra work and it causes potential tension from client staff (or in this case sponsor staff too) that feel they are being denied access to something they need. Can I turn off this automated promotion by Dropbox? It's clearly a new thing and I'm guessing we can't shut it off, but it's obnoxious and inappropriate for the company to be driving us to admit team members that we don't want, just because we have a few open slots. Someone please help. Please stop this annoying business practice. Thanks, Joseph2.2KViews1like3CommentsHow to leave a dropbox team
How do I leave a team in Dropbox? According to instructions one should: Sign in to dropbox.com. Choose your work account at the bottom left. Click the button by your team name: Groups and members or # members. Click Leave team. But when going to "groups and members" in my account, I can see the team, but there is no option to leave it. Thank you very much.Solved14KViews1like9Comments
Remove from Team and revert back to Personal Dropbox
I have had a personal Dropbox for years which I use to do all my work, store photos, share files with clients and colleagues etc... I had a new client wanting to share files via Dropbox and without paying much attention I clicked on the email invitation thinking it was to a shared folder like I have done many times previously, but actually looks like it was an invite to join their team... So now it appears that my personal Dropbox has been completely taken over and I am now a part of their team! While I can see that it says on my Personal files that I am the only member, assuming the client can't see the files, it really isn't ideal and would like to reclaim my own Dropbox for myself. Is there a way for me to remove myself from the Team? And if so will that simply go back to my normal plan? Any help on this much appreciated as don't want to risk loosing access to my own files and account...Solved11KViews1like28Comments
