How to Add People in Dropbox and Manage Your Team Effectively

Adding people to Dropbox is a straightforward process that can be completed in just a few steps.

To start, you need to be the owner of the Dropbox account or have admin permissions to add users.

You can invite users to join your Dropbox team by going to the "Settings" page and clicking on "Members."

From there, you can enter the email address of the person you want to add and choose their role, either as an editor or viewer.
