You might see that the Dropbox Community team have been busy working on some major updates to the Community itself! So, here is some info on what’s changed, what’s staying the same and what you can expect from the Dropbox Community overall.

Limiting Editting main folders on company dropbox.
Top-level folders are able to be edited, moved, deleted, etc. All mass changes like this should be restricted or at least have a warning pop-up before completing.

Thanks for the ticket number, Valeri.
It seems however, that if you change the top-level content management setting, the members will still be able to edit/add/delete files in the team folders they already have access to.
What happens, is they cannot edit the top level, the main directory, let's say. What we call the team space.
But all the individual folders inside can still be accessed/edited, etc.
You can test this on your end as well, to see how it works for you.

Hey Valeri1111, thanks for posting on our Community!
Have you tried adjusting your permissions as outlined here?
Let me know if that helps!

I was going to do that, but your support team advised me that by changing those top level folder permissions, all the individual folders inside would follow that same rule.
I need my teams to be able to add/edit folders inside.
