So I can't share the whole team folder to this person... they already have a business account.. just it's not paid for under our account

You can share the content of the team folder to users outside of your team, just not the team folder itself. If you’re having trouble sharing it, it may be due to the sharing settings applied by the team admin.
Hope this helped! :nerd:

the content in the folder is being deleted and added to regularly, it feels like a work around to be forced to re-share each file/folder as it's created, sounds like something I need to log with tech support?

Mr. 22: I have the same issue --we hired an outside accounting firm and want to give them access to the entire team folder, but it seems that is not currently possible on DropBox.
Here's a work-around that I am considering:
- Add one subfolder under the main team folder, perhaps called "team-ext"
- Move EVERYTHING in the team folder into that new team-ext folder
- Share the team-ext folder with the accounting firm
The only downside is that everyone in the team will have to navigate one more level down in the folder structure, but I don't think this would be a big deal.
Anyone see a problem with this?

Hey there ReplayGuitar,
That's an excellent workaround! :heart_eyes:
There shouldn't be an issue doing this, just that when you do move the content, there may be a re-index of this event for members.
Let us know if you have any other questions!

Hi! Checking in to see if there have been any updates since this posted? I have a non-team member—who has their own DB account—and needs access to a team folder. Is there any way to share the entire team folder with them, rather than the files/folders within the folder?
