Problem/Question
- How do I choose what folders appear in Dropbox Sync?
- My Team Folders are not showing in Dropbox Sync
Overview
By default, Dropbox does not enable shared Team Folders from showing in the Dropbox Sync application. This helps to protect any sensitive university data from being synced to personal devices. Alternatively, you may find it more optimal to disable certain unnecessary folders from showing in Dropbox sync to help keep things more orderly.
