Dropbox: Create a Team Folder

Environment

U-M Dropbox

Issue

How do I create a U-M Dropbox Team Folder?

Resolution

• Dropbox Team Folders must be created using the ITS Team Folder Manager tool.
• Refer to Team Folders in U-M Dropbox for full instructions on creating a Team Folder, including information on editing your folder, sharing, and MCommunity synchronization.
• Only active faculty and regular staff are eligible to create and manage Team Folders. Students, temporary staff, sponsored affiliates, alumni, retirees, Shared Accounts, Friend accounts, and external (non-UM) users are not eligible to create or manage Team Folders.
• On average, it takes a few minutes for the Team Folder to appear in your Dropbox account after submitting the creation form. However, it may take up to 24 hours in some cases.
  • You will receive an email from Dropbox when it is created and available for use.
• You will use the ITS Team Folder Manager tool to manage certain aspects of your Team Folder, including changing the folder’s departmental prefix, name, and associated MCommunity group and deleting the folder.

Additional Information

Individuals, including owners, must be members of the MCommunity group to view and access the Team Folder content.
