How can I recall or delete files or folders I've shared with others?
Hello ALL...I think I made a terrible mistake. I was trying to send a link to view some pictures to an organization, but I think what I did was sent them access to my acct/folders. All of my folders in my account. How can I recall, stop them from having access? OMYGOODNESS!...i dont want to delete my acct, but I am about to do this quickly. Please help!..Thank you..

You can review shared folders, files and links you've sent on your Sharing page. If you see a link that was a mistake, you can delete it. If you send them an invitation to a shared folder, you can remove their access. No need to delete your account.
