We are aware of the issue with the badge emails resending to everyone, we apologise for the inconvenience - learn more here.
As an admin, I want to be able to easily see what folders a specific user belongs to. I'd love to be a be able to go to the "Members" page, click on a user, and then see a list of all the folders they have access to. If I need to partially reduce a specific users folder access, I would currently have to click "Share" next to each folder and look through who the members were. And even then, if they belong to a folder I don't, I won't know they are on it.
I'd also like to be able to change their permission and uninvite them to those folders from that same view. So, once I've opened the "Members" page, clicked on the user, and am looking at the folders they belong to, I'd want to be able to make edits from there.
Finally! This is good news. I consider this to be a major security flaw not having it - we have had all sorts of documents and files which we are finding are still shared with people we don't want to. I want to do a monthly review of all sharing ...
I want to see the current permission of every user, team member and extern, regarding the folders subfolders and files.

I believe that this functionality now exists: check out https://www.dropbox.com/team/admin/content/home#member_access if you want to see what access your team members have, and check out https://www.dropbox.com/team/admin/external_people?origin=members_page_card to see what access other users have
Hi alivaj
I don't believe this has been resolved. The links you provide are for dropbox business accounts only, and are related to teams functionality. This does not extend to folders shared from private accounts, nor from what i can see would it really address what we have been asking for on here.
This has ben requested for years now, and should not be a difficult thing for Dropbox to implement. It is shocking that they have still not addressed this very basic functional improvement request.
alivaj, I totally agree with Sam R.12, This capability should be available to ALL users. Essentially, if Dropbox allows "sharing" Files and Folders, then Dropbox should provide a way to track and manage those shares in a more logical and coherent way.
And as Sam said, this has been requested for years now, and should not be a difficult thing for Dropbox to implement. It is shocking that they have still not addressed this very basic functional improvement request.

Status changed:InvestigatingtoDeliveredHi all,
I'm happy to report that this feature is now available in the Admin Console.
You will now be able to view what content a member has access to when you navigate to Content > Member Access.
Thank you for sharing and supporting this idea!
Hi Emma,
I am confused. We are on the "Dropbox Plus - 2TB" plan. But I don't see "Content > Member Access" anywhere. Was this feature released for "Business" accounts only? Because if it was, that would be really sad... and not nice at all.

Thanks @Emma. I am pleased to see this. As I have noted, I do wish we could see files that others can view as well as the folders - is that in another place?
- JayHi JacobRusso, this is only for team admins on a Dropbox Business team, since they technically own the team and have permission to view details about other team members.
If you're using Dropbox Plus, then it's a personal account so there aren't any 'members' as such, since only one person should be accessing the account.
However, if you're sharing the account credentials for a personal account with other users, this would violate the terms of service and could result in the account being terminated. Hi Jay ,
No, you misunderstood what I said completely. We are NOT Sharing "CREDENTIALS". We are sharing FILES, FOLDERS, and LINKS with other Dropbox users, EACH with their OWN accounts... and LINKS with possibly Non-Dropbox users. This is ALL well within Dropbox allowed use.
The problem is that the ONLY way to see WHO we have shared FILES, FOLDERS or LINKS with is to check each FILE or FOLDER individually.
THIS is a MAJOR pain. For example, 12 years ago, YES, we've been using Dropbox that long, I had shared some FILES and FOLDERS with my Ex-Wife and with my Attorney. Well, guess what, I don't want EITHER of them to have access to those documents or folders. But, since these were NOT all in the same folder, it took me four hours to hunt these down.
I am sure that there are many more, like this, that I have made available to others over the years. I would like to know who I have shared files and/or folders with... and likewise... who has shared files and folders with me.
Best regards,
Jacob
