Hiding unshared Team folders from non-member Team members
I'm setting up a new Team Folder. Previously, users only saw the folders that they had access to. Now, all folders are listed. Those that they don't have permission to see are showing up with a Fo...
Hi WVU90SAM, thanks for posting here today!
I'm afraid that the same behavior remains now. The Team folder would be visible, it would just show as a locked folder. What you could do, is what you already mentioned: move the content under your personal folder.
Your feedback regarding this has been very valuable and I will endeavor to make sure your voice is heard.
If you need anything else, let me know!

Dropbox Product ManagerHi, Dropbox product team member here. We're working on an update of the Team Space experience and I hear your feedback. We want to make it so that Team Folders are invisible to the team members they are not shared with. Part of that work is understanding how much to expose when members have access somewhere down the tree. For example, if there is a Team Folder structure like Accounting/Payroll/2023/Market Research, and you give a team member access directly to the Market Research folder. How would you say their Dropbox view should look:
1. With the full path of the folder exposed: Accounting/Payroll/2023/Market Research so that they understand where the folder exists and how to navigate to it
2. With only /Market Research visible so they have no exposure to which folder it lives in.
Would love to hear your thoughts!
It's great to hear that you all are exploring a solution.
While I try to not share any subfolders as a general practice (because I don't want to memorize who has access to each of the subfolders), if I were to share a subfolder, I would only want the person to see the part of the path that they have access to. So, option 2. With only /Market Research visible so they have no exposure to which folder it lives in.
Thanks!
