Meet Aniela
As the IT manager, Aniela has many responsibilities at her company. In her day-to-day, Aniela needs to plan, manage, and coordinate business and team projects, while also updating management on the status of the company’s IT efforts. Much of what Aniela needs—like schedules and budget reports and timesheets—isn’t in the same place.
But with Dropbox, Aniela’s life is about to get much easier.
The manager in the marketing department at Aniela’s company approaches her to ask how much their team is using Dropbox, and if she thinks the company is getting its money’s worth with a Dropbox team account . As the IT admin, Aniela can help the manager find out who is using the tools effectively and efficiently.
The Dropbox team admin console provides key insights into Aniela’s team’s activities, as well as shortcuts to important and common admin actions.
View usage data
On the Dashboard, Aniela can view the number of active users on her team, how much storage space has been used, and the tools included with her plan.
In the Security page, Aniela can view the number of shared links and active shared folders. She can view this data over the past week, month, or three months.
Find a team member
To see if a team member accepted their invite to the Dropbox team account, Aniela can go to the Members page to view a list of all team members. She can click the magnifying glass to search by name or email.
Invite new members
Aniela can add or delete team members, monitor their activity, reset passwords, or make another member an admin. She can also send reminders to anyone with pending invites to join the team. Invited members can create accounts that use their team’s shared storage to give Aniela more control over how work files are shared.
Add licenses
Aniela can add more licenses to the organization’s Dropbox team account as needed by going to the Members page. She can also add licenses from the admin console Dashboard.

Dropbox makes Aniela’s job—making IT decisions, planning, coordinating, and evaluating team projects—a little bit easier. Aniela uses all the tools, features, and customizations a Dropbox team account offers to manage her large team and give them the apps they need.
Even if you’re not an IT manager, these features can be applied to almost anyone, anywhere.
