It is a shared folder NOman334 - that's what the error is saying, you removed yourself from the share. 

 

Whats important to remember here is that a folder can be 'shared' but with only one person if you didn't invite anybody else or everybody else left. 

 

So, you need to rejoin it at www.dropbox.com/share to regain the access.

Hi Mark,

 

Thanks for your reply, I didn't delete, and it is not found in a deleted folder as well. Also, no body has the access to this folder except me, I'm the only owner, and user of that folder. never shared to anyone. very mysterious for me. all gone.

 

Moreover, it is also not showing in the https://www.dropbox.com/share/recents

if it was shared then it would shown there.,..I;m stuck..what to do.
