Can I restrict new team member's access to a single folder?
Can anyone show me how to restrict new member's access to a single folder?
Thanks everyone! I was able to take care of this.
This folder is a Team folder. I've hired a contract architectural consultant for my architectural firm to help us on a project and the only way we've been able to get successful access for her was to make them a Team Member with full access to our entire company folder despite everything else we've tried... including sending her an ivite to that specific folder. Once we start a project, linkages between files are sometimes hindered if parent file name and locations are modified.
From your response, I'm guessing that Dropbox doesn't have a way to restrict this new Team Member to an existing project folder after they're added to our team.

Have you considered using Groups for your content by any chance?
Groups are an easy way to add and remove lists of people to your shared folders and make managing sharing easier. You can choose which members you want to be part of each group, and assign it to your Team folders.
If you have any questions, let me know!
