Manage invitations for your Dropbox business team

Certain types of Dropbox business admins can manage invitations and membership settings from the admin console. Learn more about admin permissions.

Manage membership settings

To manage who can invite people and how people can join your team:

1. Sign in to dropbox.com with your admin credentials.
2. Click Admin console.
3. Click Settings.

5. Toggle the setting you’d like to change on or off.
   • Members can invite people to the team - If this setting is on, team members will be allowed to invite people to the team. You can choose whether all members can invite people or only approved members. You can also choose whether those members can invite anyone or only people with email addresses on your organization’s domain. When a member invites someone, you’ll receive an email notification. You’ll also receive an email notification when the new member joins.
   • Coworkers can find the team - If this setting is on, users on your organization’s domain and collaborators outside your team will be able to discover your team and request to join from dropbox.com/team. If you check the box below this setting, users on your organization’s domain can automatically join without your approval.

Manage pending invitations

Unaccepted invites to join your Dropbox business team are called “pending invites”. You’ll receive an email when the member accepts your invitation, but you can add pending members to shared folders and groups even if they haven’t accepted.

You can resend invitations to pending members to remind them to join your team. You can also cancel an invitations that haven't been accepted.
