Invite user to team and add them to another group
Hi,
With a dropbox business account, how can I add/invite a member to join the team and then assign the member toa different dropbox group and not the default one.
Thanks,
Thomas
Currently, it wouldn't be possible to prevent the email notifications being sent out when they are added to a shared folder.

Dropbox StaffHi Nancy,
Thank you for your reply.When a user is invited to join the our Business team, and when the user accepts the requests he/she gets added to the group that was created automatically . I am not able to remove a from this group other than removing him from the team membership which does not make sense.
How do i overcome this situation?Thanks and Regards,
Eapen Thomas

Hi eapen, by default, there is always a group with all members of the Dropbox Business team, and it cannot be modified. This is to make it easy to add all members of the team to specific folders.
If you want the user to just be a member of a new group, you'll need to invite them to a new group. To restrict access to folders, you can create a group with the other members only, and then add that group to those folders, and remove the 'Everyone in' group. This will remove the new member's access to those folders.
You can also use the restrict access feature if you wish.
Thanks Jay for the reply.

Can you please advise on how to invite a user to a new group.
Thanks,
