Can I remove a shared folder access request?
I viewed a file via a link on a public site like reddit or something (19 days ago if time stamps are to be believed) and when reviewing my usage today, inadvertently requested access again as the app was unclear. I want to either rescind this request or delete the file from my "recent" history as I do not want to be sharing my information with random users. This has me greatly concerned for my privacy. Any assistance appreciated.

Hey NKUltra, thanks for reaching out to us.
I'm afraid that if you've requested access to a folder, you cannot rescind the request.
However, this request does not give access to your files or info to anyone else; you've simply requested to access someone else's files.
There's no need for concern in this instance, so I hope this clarifies things.
If you have any other questions, let me know.
