Manage dropbox access for subfolders

[AndreiBarta]

Hello Dropbox community,

I have a shared team folder that has multiple subfolders, and I want to gave permission on the subfolders just to certain people from the team, not all the team to see all the subfolders, but when I want to remove someone access for a subfolder it pops up a message to remove the access from the parent folder too. Can you help me?

Hi @AndreiBarta, thanks for messaging the Community!

You should be able to accomplish this by restricting access to folders by following these steps.

Keep me updated with any progress!

Hello @Jay ,

I have tried to follow the steps but the problem it's the same

Hey @AndreiBarta, sorry to jump in here.

Is the "TPA-Projects-dev" folder inside a team folder (a team folder would have an icon of a building on it)?

Or is it just a shared folder in the team?

From what I can understand from your screenshots, the folder has been shared at the "TPA-Projects-dev" level.

That means that the member you want to remove, will need to be removed from that level, so basically from the parent folder.

If this shared folder ("TPA-Projects-dev") is inside a team folder, you should be able to share the subfolders individually.

Can you try and let me know if it works?

Hello @Hannah ,

Thank you for your answer, you were right, it was a shared folder, and now I have created a team folder and I was able to manage the access in the way I wanted.
