Working and Personal space

I am using Dropbox personal account until recently i was added to a working group plan(5TB).

 

The working Group plan has working stuff that everybody shared and accessed. But i am so concern about having my own personal space being shared with others. I've look through the FAQ said that my files can't be access by other team member but ADMIN can view/edit/access all my working files.

 

Can i isolate my own personal working files ONLY with myself? If yes, how do i do it?

    Hey redonology, welcome to our Community! 

     

    As you mentioned, and depending on the Business plan your admin might be able to access your content. 

     

    You wouldn't be able to avoid that, unless you choose to use two different Dropbox accounts to keep your content outside of the Team. 

     

    Other than that, keeping your files inside your personal folder, and not inside a Team folder helps.

     

    Keep in mind that I removed your shared link for security & privacy reasons. You can always attach your screenshots by clicking the camera-like icon, and sending over your content. 

     

    I'll be waiting for your updates!
