Hide the members of a shared folder
Hi, My company uses Dropbox (free and company versions) to share files with external people of the company. We would like to know if it's possible to hide the name and the email address of the members of the folder to the other members. And if it's not possible yet, I think it would be a good idea to improve Dropbox, don't you think?52KViews47likes75Comments
See what folders a user belongs to
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.42KViews64likes75Comments
Preventing folders from being moved
Looking for a way, as admin to a shared folder which contains sub-folders, to keep other team members from accidentally moving those sub-folders. Part of it is education: novices do not grasp that by moving a folder to their desktop (for whatever reason) they are moving it out of DB and visibility to the rest of the team. This has occurred a few times, and as the team grows, it would be better if admin could lock a folder's POSITION. Probably would be a benefit to keep the folders from being renamed, but that is less likely to happen. Users should still be able to freely work with and move files as needed within the locked-position folders. Maybe there is a way to do this that I'm not aware of. Third party folder manager (those I reviewed are focused on encrypting, password protecting and/or hiding folders)? Any advice would be appreciated.23KViews51likes45Comments
Designate multiple "owners" or "admins" of a shared folder
We would like the ability to designate multiple users as "admins" of a shared folder so more than one person is able to unshare and delete the folder when necessary. This could work by having multiple "owners" and/or having a Dropbox group designated as the owner. Why we need this: We use Dropbox for project work that is highly sensitive. Only team members working on the project have access to the shared folder on a "need to know" basis. We have multiple company "admins" who need admin control over these shared project resources so sensitive data can be handled in compliance with specific project needs.20KViews20likes10Comments
Allow us to generate a report on who has edit/view access on shared folders
You are seemingly unable to generate a report that shows a simple access control list of who, within and organization, is allowed to view/change files in a folder? I understand that you can go to folders, one by one, and view (via 'modify') the currently assigned company users. But the ability to generate a simple csv file listing the directory name and all user names assigned to or allowed to read or read write is critical for both security and financial audit process. Given the Unix underpinnings for the product, this function exists as core to the OS, but sadly is missing from the system features.2.9KViews5likes9Comments
Make members invisible to others
Hello, I noticed that when a members access to my folders via your website, he can see all the other members' name on the upper right corner. I can also double click on their icon and send a mail to anybody! I don't want any member to get access to the other members. So, please add a feature to disable viewing all other members.2.3KViews3likes1CommentGive us back custom icons for shared folders
It has been a year since the last update on the thread about this problem and it looks like commenting was shut off... and still no resolution. (https://www.dropboxforum.com/t5/Dropbox-installs-integrations/Custom-folder-icons-vanish-when-folder-moved-into-DB/td-p/330443 ) It is incredibly frustrating that we cannot use custom icons for shared folders. This was something that we used to be able to do (about 2 years ago.) I have my Dropbox folders sorted by client, and some are shared with the client. I would like to have the ability to have that client's logo as the folder icon again, so it is much faster to see which folder is which, rather than them all being plain blue folders.1.7KViews5likes4Comments
