Remove members from Everyone Group

I have a scenario where i need to ensure that certain users do not have access to any of the data in Dropbox.   Has there been any thoughts on revisiting this use case?

Hi cmetzcus, thanks for messaging the Community!

 

The 'Everyone at' group is intentionally meant to store all members of the current Dropbox Business team as an easy way to invite everyone to access folders.

 

If need be, you can remove the group from folders and instead create smaller groups with only the selected members you wanted.

 

If you have any further queries, feel free to message back.

    If I may suggest the following. If there are new members to be added the system should ask by default to which group this member shall be added and should be at the decision of the admin. That new members are added by default to an everyone folder is a bit tricky because not everyone wants new members in an everyone folder
