Once you’ve created your Dropbox Business team, you can begin inviting users at your company or organization to join.
How to invite people to join your Dropbox Business team
You’ll need a license for each person you invite to your Dropbox Business team.
You can invite members individually or in bulk through a CSV file (a spreadsheet).
Invite members to your team individually
To invite new members to your Dropbox Business team:
- Sign in to dropbox.com with your admin credentials.
- Click Admin Console.
- Click Members.
- Click Invite members.
- Enter the email addresses of people you want to invite, and click Send invites.
If someone already has a Dropbox account that they use for work, they can convert an existing personal Dropbox account to a Dropbox Business account. Alternatively, they can create a new account altogether.
Notes:
- If a Dropbox user is already on another Dropbox Business team, you can't invite them to your team. Try inviting a different email address.
- 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
You can invite new members to your Dropbox Business team in bulk by filling out and uploading a templatized spreadsheet with each member’s email, first name, last name, and group (or team). To do so:
- Sign in to dropbox.com with your admin credentials.
- Click Admin Console.
- Click Members.
- Click Invite members.
- Click Import CSV file.
- Click Download template to fill out the CSV.
- Import your filled out CSV.
- Click Continue.
- Click Send invites.
How to manage membership requests for your Dropbox Business team
In addition to admins inviting users to join a Dropbox Business team, users can request to join the team themselves through a membership request.
Dropbox Business admins can manually approve outstanding requests.
- Sign in to dropbox.com with your admin credentials.
- Click Admin Console.
- Click Members.
- Click Allow.
There is currently no way to manually deny membership requests. You’ll need to leave the request as is.
Change membership request settings
Admins of Dropbox Business teams and free teams control membership request settings.
- Sign in to dropbox.com with your admin credentials.
- Click Admin Console (paid) or Team (free).
- Click Settings.
- Click Membership (paid) or Membership approval settings (free).
