How to move a folder from my personal folder to the shared workspace
I just upgraded to the business account and all of my folders and files were put into what appears to be a personal folder. Within it, there is a folder that I want to be accessible to everyone (I've...
Thanks Walter but not sure I was clear.
As a single user before moving to the Business platform, I had a folder of all client files. Now that I have team members I want to move that client folder out of the personal folder (I guess Dropbox did this as part of the upgrade).
See this screen shot: https://highgatecreative.d.pr/EHraFD
How do I actually move it? The "Move" option to the right of the client folder only shows other folders in my personal space.
Thanks for your patience.

Dropbox StaffThanks for the additional information breadwild - much appreciated.
Sorry to ask - are you the owner of the folder in question?
If you’re the owner of a shared folder, you can move it into your team space. The shared folder will now be shared with anyone who has access to the folder’s destination, as well as any original members.
Because moving a shared folder into the team space transfers ownership of the folder to your Dropbox Business team, only shared folder owners are permitted to move them into the team space.
If you’re not the owner, you can ask the owner to transfer ownership to you. For detailed instructions on how to do this, visit:

Keep me posted on your progress!
Walter, I must not be communicating. Here's a 15 sec video that show what I want to do. I don't really think it has much to do with ownership, but maybe I'm completely missing something or over complicating it. The question is HOW to move it? Drag and drop it on my desktop?

I'm having the same exact issue. Why isn't there an easy solution. I want to move my personal file to the shared team folders. I own the personal folders that were upgraded to dropbox business.
