Subject line: You’re invited! Join the [ORGANIZATION] Dropbox team
We’ve selected Dropbox Business to store, access, and share [INSERT ORGANIZATION NAME] files. You will receive an email invitation to join the team [TODAY/TOMORROW]. To take advantage of the advanced collaboration features and remote access, please select “Join your team” from the invitation and follow the sign-up prompts.
What if I'm already using Dropbox for my work?
You won't have to use space in your personal account anymore! By providing a Dropbox Business account we are making it easier for you to share large files and collaborate within your team or with external recipients. When you join the team, you can choose where the files in your existing account go. Just select “Keep my files in my [INSERT ORGANIZATION NAME] Dropbox” and you won’t have to re-upload or re-share anything!
What if I already paid for a personal Dropbox account?
No problem! Dropbox will automatically refund the remaining balance of your account once you join the [INSERT ORGANIZATION NAME] Dropbox Business account. For more details about transferring an existing account, visit our Help Center.
What if I have my personal files in my Dropbox account?
If you signed up for a personal account with your work email address, you can move your files into a personal Dropbox account with a personal email address when you join the team. When asked where your files should go, select “Move my files to a new personal Dropbox.”
If you signed up for a Dropbox account with your personal email, your [INSERT ORGANIZATION NAME] account will not impact your personal account. Your personal files will still be private to you. If you link your accounts, you’ll be able to access personal and work files from anywhere, while still keeping them separate.
For additional guidance on joining the team, find onboarding instructions here.
