Hi everyone,
My name is Youcef, and I'm a Product Manager at Dropbox working on Dropbox Business.
My team is currently looking into features to help teams organize better their content on Dro...
Hi there,
An issue or limitation that I am running into with Dropbox Business within my organization is the inability to have the same folder in multiple folders within the organization. I work in an organization that has multiple departments that share the same files, however not everyone is in the same groups to access that folder.
For example: We own a Fabrication business and Festival Production business.
We'd like to have two seperate heiarchys: Festival Prod/Ops AND Fabrication
But we'd like to have the same/live folder in boths structures. Those who have access to the parent folder that the duplicated folder lives in, automatically now are included in the group for THAT duplicated folder so there's no access issues. (This is where I think it could get messy).
We'd love to be able to be able to MULTI HOME/ DUPLICATE the folder into both structures. (We do this seemlessly in our project management software, Asana and it's an amazing feature)
When someone adds data to the folder, it updates under both structures. This is optimal for organizations to share info across departments, branches, etc in the intersection of their projects.
Happy to discuss this further or a way to get this same outcome using other features.
Thanks!
Super 👍👍👍
