the 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?

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?

Hey there jestar,
Thanks for posting your question on the Community!
Currently, you can share team folders with groups that are created by the team's admin and share the content of the folder with users that aren't in your team.
However, some teams have access to the new team folder structure, which allows admins to manage access by adding users and groups. You can find more info here.
I hope this helps to some extent!

Appreciate the quick feedback Lusil! I have admin access and created a new group, but it only shows an option to invite members. When I click this and enter the individual's email, an error message pops up telling me this person is not a team member and cannot add them to the group. Any advice?
