Leaving teams and migrating personal files back to me

OK, I started off with my own DB account, then my company set up a teams account, which, at that time, required me to merge my account with theirs. You then came up with an option to have a personal ...

    Hey roger3, 

     

    Sorry to hear about the frustration caused. 

     

    I'd be more than glad to work on that with you and figure out a solution to this issue. 

     

    Could you get back in touch with me with a ticket ID, so that I have a look into the case? 

     

    Thank you in advance for your patience and cooperation, looking forward to your ticket ID!

     

    Warm regards, 

    JaneA

I recently thought I'd try the Teams option.  I am a one-man business, but work with various groups in other companies on a project-by-project basis.  There are some groups I work with regularly, and thought Teams might be a way to run this.  I have a few issues:

1. I am now concerned that the Team members i added can see ALL of the Dropbox content and not just the shared directory I invited them to.  Is that the case?

2. My Dropbox folder became Dropbox (EAd Ltd) - in fact both exist, but the latter is the linked one.  All my working project shortcuts refer to the original route named Dropbox, which also happens across my OSX system and the virtual machine under Parallels for Win 10.  Rather than recreate all my shortcuts and links, can the Dropbox (EAd Ltd) folder be renamed back to just "Dropbox"

3. In sharing Dropbox with the VM (using Parallels option to do this), only Dropbox (Personal) shows up - I suspect Parallels needs to catch up on the Teams thing

4.  I can't see how i would simply return to the non-Teams setup, with all the team files back in my own Dropbox (in a director called "Dropbox", and me relying on shared folders instead of teams again.  Is that an option?

Regards

Paul
