I need to be able to remove my personal folder -team- on my Mac device.

Question

I want to disable my personal/private folder on my mac client.
But its not possible to deactivate this folder in the selective synchronization.... why???
I can disable all Team Folder, but not the personal one. also not re-name it. Thats so 1995 windows style... I know that from OneDrive as well, and its very frustrating.

How do you mean your personal folder?
&nbsp;
Do you have 2 Dropbox accounts on your device - one Team/work and one for personal?

Windo · Answer

Hi&nbsp;Mark&nbsp;No, I mean only 1 Account. But a Business Account. In this you will always have a personal Folder with your Name and a Team Folder (or multiple) from your company.&nbsp;

Hey&nbsp;Windo, do you follow the steps to selective sync your content through the online platform or through your desktop app?&nbsp;
&nbsp;
Feel free to send me a screenshot if you have any, in order for me to have a visual too.&nbsp;

Hi&nbsp;Megan&nbsp;I am sorry I do not understand your question.I am part of a Business Account, and we have a team folder structure.I use macOS Client. so I browse Data in my Finder.In my main Dropbox folder is a Folder with my Name, which I did not create. And I want either to delete or to disable it, which is not possible.

This folder is related to you as a team member and as long as you are team member you will have member folder. The same for every other team member. If you just want this folder to disappear from your device, this is possible - it will just stay in your account only. You need to follow Selective Sync rules as described and uncheck the folder you’d like removed. 😉 That's it.Hope this helps.
