You removed your access to the shared folder
Dropbox event > you removed your access to the shared folder. I didn't. I took screen shots to prove it was a shared folder, owned by me. I added a test folder online Moments later dropbox sent...

If you didn't manually remove your access, then I think Rich is on to something here.
If you were the owner of the folder (owner is the person who initially created the folder, not someone who just adds files to it), then the other members wouldn't be able to remove you from it.
So, if you didn't manually do it, it must have something to do with storing Dropbox on an external drive.
If the folder is still in your account online, simply re-share it with the other members and you should be good to go.
What part of "it's not on an external drive" was hard to understand? I'm sorry but the level of support from dropbox is infuriating. This will happen with every folder in dropbox. "simply sharing it" is going to waste me days of time.
to quote myself:
What about rolling back the entire dropbox? Restoring permissions? Resetting the local dropbox settings/cache/ whatever so that it stops sending spurious messages to the cloud. There must be someone there with the technical knowledge to at least make vaguely helpful gestures.
