Meet your team folder

company needs. Files in the team folder appear on all your
coworkers’ computers and devices. When someone updates a file in
the team folder, everyone automatically gets the latest version.
On Windows or Mac
1. Find your team folder (named after your company) inside the Dropbox
folder on your computer.
2. Drag and drop files and folders into your team folder to add them.

PowerPoint, and Excel files. In addition to sharing links and
version history, it tells you when a coworker opens or edits a file
you’re working on, and helps everyone get the latest version.
On Windows or Mac
1. Open any Word, Excel, or PowerPoint file stored in your Dropbox.
2. You’ll see the badge along the edge of your document window. Click on
it to see who’s viewing or editing, update to the latest version, or share
the file.
