See what folders a user belongs to
As an admin, I want to be able to easily see what folders a specific user belongs to. I'd love to be a be able to go to the "Members" page, click on a user, and then see a list of all the folders they have access to. If I need to partially reduce a specific users folder access, I would currently have to click "Share" next to each folder and look through who the members were. And even then, if they belong to a folder I don't, I won't know they are on it. I'd also like to be able to change their permission and uninvite them to those folders from that same view. So, once I've opened the "Members" page, clicked on the user, and am looking at the folders they belong to, I'd want to be able to make edits from there.42KViews64likes75Comments
Customisable Admin roles
I'm unsure if it has been suggested or not, but I would like to be able to customise admin roles have just the 3 admin roles, I find is not flexible enough. For example I don't wont to give an user full blown team admin rights but I want some of those team admin rights adding to the user management admin so they can also managed team folders etc. If Dropbox can allow to create and customise admin roles would be great.7.4KViews2likes5Comments
Disable linking multiple accounts to certain users only.
I have a business account and as the owner of the business I would like to be able to link it with my personal account. However, as I am concerned about the sceurity of my data with other team members I do not want them to be able to link their personal accounts. Can this global setting be user/group specific?4.7KViews1like5Comments
I would like more tools to analyze my team's file activity on Dropbox
DropBox has evolved within many organizations to take on the role of more than just a sharing and archiving system, to become a fundamental hub integral to many facets of their work. From collaboration, to knowledge distribution, many have leveraged the available client tools, however, the tools available to administrators has not grown along with it. I need data on my data, and sadly the available reports are lacking. For instance, I can see the super-users on our deployment based on physical file storage, but I cannot see what specific files of theirs that are generating the most activity. How am I supposed to justify my license count if there is no means to truly verify the service is worth it, and actively utilized?4.4KViews6likes6Comments
Make it easier to discover new team features
Hi folks, Ross S. fromDropbox here, We've created a new place for Admins to submit product improvment suggestions. Up vote any that you like or think would make administering your team easier, we'll loop back and comment on them . To kickstart this space here's one of mine: I'd like to have a place where I can see all the new Admin console features that are released every week/month. Now feel free to add you own, and lets drive the product forward together!4.4KViews1like2Comments
Email Notifications - Admin should have ability to toggle on or off by team or individual
Our teams function separately and we don't want team members to receive summary or activity emails. I don't like the precedent it sets for monitoring/comparing hours and changes to files, outside of the Administrative or Managerial capacity. It allows people to ask questions and "check up on" coworkers in a way that we don't like. Why can't I turn of those email summaries and notifications depending upon user role? No one needs to be getting them - if anyone there should be the option for Admin Only. Currently this can only be adjusted on individual accounts and it has already created an issue in the first week.2.1KViews2likes3CommentsOption to view only and not download files
Hi there, I understand that there is a feature which allows Dropbox Business admins to restrict certain folders from editing by specific team members and Admins can make them view only. However, the view only feature has a default option of downloading the files also. In other words, when an admin restrict a folder from editing, the file can still be downloaded by the member. I want to suggest that Dropbox Business Admins should have a sub option to restrict the download of files from the folder which is in view only mode. Regards, Saqib1.7KViews1like3CommentsAdmin report on folders by filters such as folder type, folder owner, amount of data in the folder
I'd love to be able to pull of a report of all Folders, ideally to include Folder Type, Folder owner, last modified and amount of data in the folder. Would be very useful for housekeeping of folders.1.2KViews1like6Comments
