How do you mean your personal folder?

 

Do you have 2 Dropbox accounts on your device - one Team/work and one for personal?

    Hi Mark 
    No, I mean only 1 Account. But a Business Account. In this you will always have a personal Folder with your Name and a Team Folder (or multiple) from your company.

      Hey Windo, do you follow the steps to selective sync your content through the online platform or through your desktop app? 

       

      Feel free to send me a screenshot if you have any, in order for me to have a visual too.

        Hi Megan I am sorry I do not understand your question.

        I am part of a Business Account, and we have a team folder structure.

        I use macOS Client. so I browse Data in my Finder.

        In my main Dropbox folder is a Folder with my Name, which I did not create. And I want either to delete or to disable it, which is not possible.
