Shared folder viewed in users personal folder, not in the root folder

Question

I'm admin of our Dropbox account.
I have a folder in the root called Accounting
When I invite a new user access to this folder and they navigate to it on the their desktop it is in their personal folder instead of the Root of Dropbox&nbsp;
Dropbox/JohnDoe/Accounting.
That doesn't make sense because it is in&nbsp;
Dropbox/Accounting.&nbsp;
&nbsp;
How can I show this in the root of the Dropbox folder in Explorer?

Hi TheLegend, thanks for bringing this to our attention.
&nbsp;
Was the user invited to the folder itself, or the Accounting folder?
&nbsp;
This will help me to assist further!

The Accounting folder from the admin console.&nbsp;I clicked the Share to Dropbox and entered the users name and the User got an invite&nbsp;

Hi one follow up question - is the user a member of your Dropbox team?
