You might see that the Dropbox Community team have been busy working on some major updates to the Community itself! So, here is some info on what’s changed, what’s staying the same and what you can expect from the Dropbox Community overall.

Visibility of other users you share with
Hi
If i share a folder with multiple people, do people see who else i have shared it with? If so, how do i avoid that?
Thanks
If its a shared folder (i.e. one that they have read/write access to) then yes, they can see everybody else in that share. There is no way around that I'm afraid.
If its a read only shared link then no, that information isnt stored as you dont need an account to view it

Dropbox StaffHi @Peter R.42, anyone with the link can access the folder. It isn't possible to restrict a link to a specific user, aside from sharing the file directly to their Dropbox account.
So is there a good way to use regular Dropbox (even with a paid plan) for a data room for a business transaction? Or do I need to sign up for your DocSend VDR plan?
Does your VDR address these issues:
1. I don't want each party considering the transaction to see the names of the others
2. I want to keep track of who is accessing the VDR and delete their access if I need to.
In regular DropBox, is there a way perhaps to keep multiple folders in sync with each other (so each has the full set of files) and then share each folder with a specific party?
Thanks
Thanks

Are you able to use shared folders instead of purchasing a DocSend plan? It allows you to keep files in sync with other invited Dropbox members.
