Managing Access to Your Dropbox Team Folder
This article covers how authorized Dropbox Team Folder managers can manage who has access to their Team Folder.
1. Log in to Dropbox on the Web.
2. At the bottom left of the screen, click on your profile picture.
3. Then select View team and groups.
4. Locate the group whose membership you want to update and click on it.
If you have a lot of groups, use the Group name search box to enter search criteria such as "Grp - IT Training" to narrow down the results.
What do you want to do?
Adding a member to the Dropbox Group gives them access to all content in the Dropbox Team Folder, with the exception of any subfolders that are only shared with specific users.
1. To add a new member, click Add members.
2. Start typing the name or email address of the user you want to add. Make a selection from the search results.
If you get an error when entering a user's CSUF email address, that means the user does not have a CSUF Dropbox account. They will need to request an account by going to the CSUF Dropbox for Business webpage.
- Start typing a name or email address.
- Select the user you want to add from the search results.
3. Keep adding users as desired.
Remember that students are listed here as well, so if the person you are adding has a somewhat common first and/or last name, you may want to enter their email address.
4. Click Add Members when you are done adding users.
5. You're done! The group membership is now updated. It may take time for the newly added user(s) to be added and see the shared content.
Removing a member from the Team Folder removes all of their access to content in the Team Folder; the user will not be able to save a copy to their Dropbox as they would when removed from a regular Shared Folder.
1. Click on the settings gear icon next to an existing member of the group.
2. Choose Remove user.
3. Click Remove to confirm you want to remove the user.
4. You're done! The user is removed from the group. It may take time for the user to be removed from all of the shared content.
