Restrict access to content. How?

Hi,

 

I have a standard account with 3 licenses (and 3 users with 3 distinct email addresses: one manager, one technical and one admin). I would like to limit the access to some members of my team to some specific folders. For example, I would like to restrict the access of the technical member to the admin related folders. When I try to do so, it is impossible since Dropbox considers "all team members" as one, with one unique and identical set up for all 3. Can some help me? Thank you so much!

 

  • Hi Claire28, let's jump right into this! 

     

    In order to restrict access to some content, and allow access to others, have you tried using Groups at all? I think that would work for you. 

     

    Groups are an easy way to add and remove lists of people to your shared folders and make managing sharing easier. 

     

    You can see more about them here

     

    Let me know if this helped at all!
