I'm an admin and I can see shared folders in admin console but not in my account

I've inherited a Dropbox Advanced environment and am quite a noob here, so maybe I asking something dumb, but: in the admin console, I can see all users and groups, and I see a choice for "content." ...

I guess I can do either of those to gain access, but they both scale poorly.  There are over 100 folders that I can see exist, but which I can't access, and there are 95 members, so I'd have to log in 95 times.  Either way, that's a lot of administrivia.  I understand there isn't another way right now, so I guess I want to know how to make a feature suggestion: Admins should have access to everything created within an organization.
