Admin Console Questions
In Admin Console, under Members, I see "People with your team's email domain" and "People your team works with". Both of these areas show lists of people who are either no longer with my company or ...
The user are on an Advanced Business account.
In Members area, I have one user showing up "Review 1 person that is using your team’s email domain". I click Review, and it shows an old member's email, asking me if I would like to invite this user. I don't even want this user to show up.
The user has been gone from my organization for years. She doesn't show up in members, deleted members, or suspended members. What is the DropBox process that keeps this member showing up under "Review 1 person that is using your team’s email domain"?
Thank you,
Dennis

Dropbox StaffNo, there are no added domains for my business team. The user who shows up under "Review 1 person that is using your team’s email domain" is a user that was in my domain. The user had his own M365 mailbox. When he left the company, that mailbox was migrated to a shared mailbox so that we are able to check his mailbox for new emails from time to time. The user, if they ever had a dropbox account, doesn't even show up in Deleted accounts. They just show up under "Review 1 person that is using your team’s email domain", waiting for me to invite them. Just wondering what I need to do to get Dropbox to forget this user.
I would add that no Domain has been set up under Settings / Domains, and from what I can see, account capture has also not been set up. I have these Settings / Membership approval settings set.

Hi dtivel, if you're getting this message, it could mean that there is a Dropbox account under that email address, and one that isn't on your team, hence the request to invite them to the team.
I have this same exact issue. My dropbox admin console is showing 33 people who are using my team's email domain, but the fact is, most of them aren't and haven't been for a very long time. The other disturbing thing is that none of them should have access to our dropbox account so I'd like to disassociate these users from our account entirely. is there no way to tell Dropbox not to recognize these folks as people who should be invited to collaborate? I don't know how Dropbox gets this information in the first place, but the admin console should allow us to edit that information as needed for security.
To illustrate further - one of the addresses that continuously shows up in this list is a former business associate that was terminated in 2015, before we even switched from BOX to Dropbox. Another is a former associate that was terminated in 2020 for legal issues and we'd prefer not to have that person's name anywhere near us or our operations. Still another is someone who has not worked with us since 2014, etc. They no longer hold email addresses at our domain.
We are not even sharing folders with these people so I don't understand why Dropbox is suggesting that we invite them to join our team.
