Family manager - Family Plan
Hi everyone,
Can I buy the family plan and then select someone else to be the family manager?
Thank you!

Hello, we have an update on this ask.
We now support Family managers allowing other plan members admin privilege, including inviting other team members.
To do this, go to dropbox.com/account/family, click on the menu next to a family member’s name and select “Grant admin privileges”.
Note: the Family manager who pays for the account will still have some unique ability to manage the billing.
Hope that helps!

@Emma
Can you please describe in detail what are actual privileges of "admin" in the Dropbox Family plan?
I cannot find this info documented anywhere on the forum or Dropbox website.
Thanks!

Hi @phq, the Family Manager can perform these actions on the team, which normal members are not able to do.

Thanks for your answer.
However, I was not referring to "Family Manager".
I would like to ask what are the privileges of a family member after I click "Grant admin privileges" to him/her ???
Please see my screenshot below.
Thank you for your time!
Best,
P
