    Hi Diana28, thanks for posting today.

    Shared links can have edit privileges for Google Docs and Microsoft files

    Any other file would not have this permission, so team folders can't be edited the same way, you'd need to share it directly with people on your team in order for them to add it to their Dropbox account and then be able to edit it.

    If you need any more details, feel free to message back!
