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.

Add Ability to Add Out-of-Account Dropbox Users To A Group and/or Team Folder for Cross-Biz Collab
Hope this is the right spot, but this is a feature we could use a lot and I imagine others could too.
Team folders/groups give nice powerful admin control features, but you currently cannot add a 3...
Hello,
My post is about collaborating securely with other organisations using dropbox.
Today I can :
- organize my team in groups, and define permissions at group level, which is essential for it to be manageable.
- invite individuals outside my team to share on a folder by folder basis.
Today I CANT add external accounts in my groups, even if they have a Dropbox Business account in their organization.
==> This is a mess to handle as I have to duplicate my group permission on each new individual allowed to see some of my files. For instance, if I want to add my accountant assistant or new employee, I have to do the work again and again, when he joins or when he leaves, WHICH IS NOT MANAGEABLE.
I suggest that dropbox allow the INCLUSION OF EXTERNAL ACCOUNTS in my groups, so I can be consistent in the definition and managment of my permissions.
Thanks for considering this feature, as I beleive it would enhance and secure cross-business use of the product.
Regards
JFK
