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.
