Choose location for folders shared with me?
Is it possible to choose the location where the folders shared with me are located?
I have folders for existing projects and when clients share files with me it would be helpful to nest then inside those folders.

To expand a bit on what Walter mentioned, you can move or rename any shared folder and the changes are only visible for you, not the other members.
Just don't try to move a shared folder into another shared folder. You can't nest shared folders.

Rich Shared folders can be moved into another shared folder using dropbox.com or the Dropbox mobile app https://help.dropbox.com/share/shared-folder-faq#Can-I-move-a-shared-folder-into-another-shared-folder

Shared folders can be moved into another shared folder ...
Wouldn't that give members of the top level shared folder access to the content in the shared sub-folder that was moved? In the context of the OPs question, it didn't sound like they would want that. They just want to manage where the shared folders exist in their account.

Hi CD M. - thanks for posting on our Community!
I'm afraid this is not possible at this time, but you should be able to find all of your shared folders in the Sharing tab.
That said, you should be able to re-arrange your folder structure as needed, but you should be careful with shared folders as there might be issues with permissions etc.
Let me know if that helps at all.
