Hey howdy123, thanks for joining the Dropbox Community.

 

When you say that you're an admin of the Dropbox folder, do you mean that you're an admin of a Dropbox team account or the owner of the folder in question?

 

If you're a team admin, can you send me a screenshot of your sharing settings in the admin console?

 

Also, are the editors on the folder trying to share the folder with users outside your Dropbox team?

 

Thanks in advance.

    Hi Hannah,

     

    Thanks for getting back to me so quickly! Sorry for the confusion, I am the owner of the folder. 

     

    The editors are sharing with users within the team. 

     

    Thanks!

      Thanks for clarifying, howdy123!

       

      Is this a top level folder within the team space?

       

      And are they trying to send a "can edit" link to the folder or invite them with their email addresses?

        Hi Hannah,

         

        Can confirm that it is a top level folder and they are trying to send 'can edit' link.

         

        Thanks!
