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.


Dropbox for Business users can create groups to share quickly and easily with specific team members. Any new member you add to a group will be automatically invited to all shared folders that the group has been invited to.

To create 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. In the upper right corner, click the New group button.
  5. New group button The New group button
  6. Enter a name for your group. This is the name all team members will see and use to invite the group to new shared folders. Please note that, as the owner of this group, you can change the group's name at any time.
  7. Click the Create group button.
  8. Create group button Click Create group

If you don't see the New group button, your Dropbox for Business team admin may have restricted your team's ability to create groups.
