Why am I being prompted to join a Dropbox team account or Enterprise team when I sign in to my personal Dropbox?
If you're being prompted to join a Dropbox team account when you try to access your personal Dropbox account, it means one of two things:
- You created a Dropbox Basic, Plus, or Professional account using your work email address.
- Your admin sent a Dropbox team account invite to your personal account.
- In this case, you’ll want to ask your admin to resend the invite to your work email.
What do I do if I'm being prompted to join a team?
If you're being prompted to join a Dropbox team account or Enterprise team, you will see two options for your existing files:
- Transfer to [team name]
- All of the existing files in your current account will transfer to your Dropbox team account, and your admin will have access to all of those files.
- Keep separate from [team name]
- You’ll be prompted to create a new Dropbox account for all of the existing files in your account, and your admin will not have access to these files.
Once you've selected how you'd like to proceed, click Continue. You may then need to re-verify your email address.
Note: If you’re already using your personal account, ask your admin to resend the team invite to your work account.
Will my team's admin have access to my personal files?
Yes, transferring an existing account to a Dropbox team account will give your admin access to view, open, share, and delete files.
If you create a secondary, personal Dropbox account, your admin will not have any access into this account.
