Manage dropbox access for subfolders
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?
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?

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!
