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.

Add non team member to team folder
we have a consultant who helps us remotely, we wish to add them to one of our Dropbox Team Folders, yet since they already have a business account (their own) I don't want to send an invite and be pa...
So I can't share the whole team folder to this person... they already have a business account.. just it's not paid for under our account

Dropbox Staffthe content in the folder is being deleted and added to regularly, it feels like a work around to be forced to re-share each file/folder as it's created, sounds like something I need to log with tech support?
Mr. 22: I have the same issue --we hired an outside accounting firm and want to give them access to the entire team folder, but it seems that is not currently possible on DropBox.
Here's a work-around that I am considering:
- Add one subfolder under the main team folder, perhaps called "team-ext"
- Move EVERYTHING in the team folder into that new team-ext folder
- Share the team-ext folder with the accounting firm
The only downside is that everyone in the team will have to navigate one more level down in the folder structure, but I don't think this would be a big deal.
Anyone see a problem with this?

Hey there ReplayGuitar,
That's an excellent workaround! :heart_eyes:
There shouldn't be an issue doing this, just that when you do move the content, there may be a re-index of this event for members.
Let us know if you have any other questions!

Hi! Checking in to see if there have been any updates since this posted? I have a non-team member—who has their own DB account—and needs access to a team folder. Is there any way to share the entire team folder with them, rather than the files/folders within the folder?
