Invite people to your Dropbox Business team

Once you’ve created your Dropbox Business team, you can begin inviting users at your company or organization to join. You can invite members individually or in bulk. You’ll need a license for each person you invite to your team. 

Note: If a Dropbox user is already on another Dropbox Business team, you can't invite them to your team. That user can either join your team using a different email address or leave their current team.

Invite members to your team individually with email

To invite new members to your Dropbox Business team with email:

1. Sign in to dropbox.com with your admin credentials.
2. Click Admin console.
3. Click Members.
4. Click Invite members.
5. Enter the email addresses of people you want to invite, and click Send invites.

Notes:

• If the team member’s email is part of a verified domain, they’re automatically added to your team and take up a license.
• If a team member has an @privaterelay.appleid.com address, they will need to add their real email address to their Dropbox account before they can be added to your Dropbox Business team.

Invite members to your team in bulk with a team invite link
