Hi WVU90SAM, thanks for posting here today!
I'm afraid that the same behavior remains now. The Team folder would be visible, it would just show as a locked folder. What you could do, is what you already mentioned: move the content under your personal folder.
Your feedback regarding this has been very valuable and I will endeavor to make sure your voice is heard.
If you need anything else, let me know!

Hi,
I have the exact same issue.
I just did some well needed file organization and sorting this weekend, and consolidated company administration files in dropbox. I was careful to set the sharing options so only the right people got access to what they needed. Now this morning I get questions from all the team members about the folders that they can see but don't access. I have looked everywhere to try to hide them, but id does not seem possible.
Please address this problem.
Best regards,
Simon
