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 am sorry I wasn't able to open any of the links you provided breadwild.
Therefore, I reached out via email to the address you use for your forum's profile so we can work on this together.
Take a look at your inbox for my message and we'll take it from there.
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.

What exact error are you getting mdm479? Could you share a screenshot so I can have a better understanding of the matter at hand?
Since you're the Admin, have you ensured that all of the requirements I quoted above are met through your Admin's Console (linked below)?
