Owners can transfer ownership to another group member by clicking on the gear icon to the right of the user’s name and select the option labeled “Make owner.” In addition, owners can remove members by selecting the option “Remove user.” You can add more than one member at the same time by typing in more than one name. Click the button labeled “Add members” and type the name of the individuals you want to add. Once the group is created, you can add members. To request a Group, contact the Service Desk Since Groups is a Dropbox for Business feature, you cannot add members who only have personal accounts or do not yet have a Dropbox account. If you already maintain a Moira group, it makes sense to replicate that name for your Dropbox Group and to maintain both the membership of the Moira group and the Dropbox group to match each other.įinally, you should make sure that all of the individuals you need to add to the Group have registered an MIT Dropbox account. Second, you should think of a name for your Group. Members of the group can remove themselves from the group but cannot add or remove others. Only Group Owners can add and remove other members. Whoever requests the Group is the Group Owner, but that initial Group Owner can transfer ownership to another Group member later if necessary. Things to consider prior to requesting a Groupįirst, you should decide who will be the “Owner” of the Group. Members can be added or removed from the group so that all shared folders are shared with those who need them. With the Groups feature, you first create a group, add members, and then share folders and files with that Group. However, what happens when group members leave or new members get added? You would have to go back to the shared folder and add or remove them. One way to share the folder would be to right-click on the folder, select “Share this folder,” and enter each member individually. The Groups feature simplifies the sharing of files with a team or group of collaborators.įor example, let’s say you have a project folder you need to share with a group of Dropbox users. MIT’s Dropbox for Business account includes the “Groups” feature that allows you to define a group of users that you and other Dropbox users can use to share folders and files. Dropbox folder can only be shared with Dropbox users and cannot be shared with Moira Groups.
