How can we restrict who can share to groups?
I'm currently facing an issue where certain users in our Dropbox environment have the ability to share things in Team folders that they have access to. While the sharing feature works great for sharing with specific other employees, sometimes people share to the Everyone At group where it results in hundreds of employees receiving email notifications that something has been shared with them. It is usually immediately unshared, but then that just creates a lot of confusion. For some context, we are in the process of migrating from local shared folders to Dropbox, and all groups other than the Everyone At group are IT-managed through AD sync. We would also like to keep the Everyone At group of possible for us to share out any documents to all employees if needed.
Is there a way to restrict a users ability to see groups, or to restrict their ability to share to them?

Hi there, Zcollier, thanks for your post.
Are the users in the team that have the ability to share folder with groups simple team members or team admins?
Can you also take a look at these steps and let me know if they help?
Thanks!
