Dropbox Share Limit folder counts

Hello,

 

I know that Dropbox Business has a 30,000 folder share limit.

The question I have is if I share a top-level folder do all the below folders count in the share limit count?

 

Example:

Team Folder 

     Sub Folder 1 <Sharing this folder to multiple people>
           Sub Sub Folder A 
           Sub Sub Folder B
                    3 Sub Folder 1 
            Sub Sub Folder C 

 

Would the above count as 1 folder shared?

                or

Would the above count as 5 Folders shared? 

 

 

  • Hi matt_geiger, and welcome back to our forum!

     

    Considering that each one of the folders you’ve mentioned is a subfolder, they would count for a total of 5 subfolders (you can also check this page for more info). 

     

    I hope this clarifies things. If you need something else though, you can always give me a nudge.
