How are shared folders different with Dropbox for Business?

With Dropbox for Business, a shared folder only counts once toward the overall storage quota for the team. This way you can share as many folders with teammates as you want and not worry about taking up the space of multiple accounts. You can also share a folder with someone outside your team if your admin allows it. However, the size of the folder will take up both your team's storage quota and your external friend's quota, just like normal.

If your admin allows sharing with non-team members, then you'll still be able to make individual shared folders “team only” as needed.

1. Sign in to the Dropbox website.
2. Select the Sharing tab from the sidebar on the left.
3. Click the Options link to the right of the shared folder.
4. Click Change to access the sharing preferences menu.
