Controlling access to a Team Folder

pchernoff

I am trying to get Team Folders to work. We have a DropBox account with 9 users. We definitely do not want all 9 users to have access to each Team Folder. The concept of having a regular shared folder in the user's folder doesn't work for us because that means everyone has a different path to the shared folder.

 

Supposedly I should be able to exclude team users from a Team Folder. But I cannot figure out how to do this and I find the provided instructions inadequate. Can someone point me to a page of instructions or provide them. Pretend that I am 5 years old.

 

So thankful that my organization's use of Dropbox is so limited for now.

Yes, that is what I eventually discovered. 

1. Create Team Folder
2. Create Group if an appropriate one doesn't exist
3. Assign Group to Team Folder
4. Delete Team from folder

I think this can be better described and perhaps made simpler. Team folders that do not involve the entire team are very important. When we had the switch over to the new schema last week we got very confused.
