Dropbox Paper leave a shared document or folder
I am having a problem, I read an article about how to manage projects using paper, the article had a link to a sample Paper Document, I clicked on it and I was added to the Document list of people who can see and commend along with a couple hundred more that also clicked the link, now that I looked at the file I want to remove it from my Paper Docs, but I cannot find the option to do so, I can archive my own documents and eventually delete them, but I cannot remove or leave that document that was "shared" with me.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
I am new to Dropbox Paper, I manage my notes elsewher but want to move all of them to Paper, I will pull the trigger once I can also have offline access to those notes on my Mac.

Has there been any progress on this? Definately not solved and don't want to continue looking at Paper files people have invited me to that I cannot get rid of!

No, that doesn't work.
I'm not following the document which is shared with me and it's still in my view.
It's a private document which is shared with me and I can only view it.Please figure out a solution to opt-out from documents like this.
Thank you.
Hello! I'm facing the same problem as people above - I'm not able to remove myself from the shared document.
Is there any work being done on the topic?
re. unfollowing: I did unfollow a document that was shared with me, but it still appears in "Home" in the list of documents.

Jane,
As a paying Dropbox customer, please reiterate for I'm sure the thousandth time, to the people in charge of Paper that this issue is utterly ridiculous. I honestly can't believe that there is any solid customer research and feedback to support making shared items basically permanent. At the very least I should be able to hide these documents somehow. It's almost 2019 and I still cannot leave a shared document. Every other stranger who is shared on this document can also view my email address. I could go on extensively about my frustration but you get the idea. I'll just stop by saying I've even considered closing my Dropbox account because of this issue.
it's 2019 now and they still don't have a solution for this... :(
Are you ever going to fix this silly problem?
I can't believe that it's Dropbox service. Shame on you!
