New! Dropbox for Business groups

Groups are a new way of managing shared folders that make collaboration easier. Using groups, you can create and manage lists of members to share information directly with the group instead of adding each person individually.

Sign up for early access to enable this feature, and learn more about groups.


If you’re the owner of a group or the admin of the Dropbox for Business team, you can delete a group at any time. Once you delete a group, you cannot undo this action. If you’ve accidentally deleted a group, you’ll have to re-create the group as you created it initially.

To delete a group:

  1. Sign in to your Dropbox for Business account.
  2. In the left sidebar, click on Sharing.
  3. Click the Groups tab.
  4. Select the name of the group you’d like to delete.
  5. Click the Delete group button.
Click delete group to delete your group Click the Delete group button

This permanently deletes the group, but it does not delete any of the files or folders that the group had access to.
