Can I remove my access to multiple shared folders at once?

I have a crazy amount of shared folders and even though I don't have access to a lot of them now they stay in my shared folders tab. 

The only way to delete these is to click the 3 little ... on the side and select remove me. But there's no way I can remove myself from how many I have. 

This is causing me not to be able to see my new recently shared folders and takes an insane amount of time for it to load the newest ones. It's honestly making me want to leave dropbox because of how inconvenient it is to organize files. HALP 😩

    Hey whatthehales, thanks for posting your question today.

     

    Since these shared folders are all different and you've been added to them by different users, there's no way to remove your access to them at once.

     

    You'll need to follow the same process you've followed so far.

     

    We appreciate your feedback, though, and I'll make sure to pass it on to our team.

     

    Let me know if you need anything else.

    Why is it taking so long for them to load? Even when I do order them by dates some don't show up

    Hi whatthehales, could you try switching browsers to see if this helps?

     

    Otherwise, you can try using incognito/private browsing mode without any extensions running, clearing your cache and even resetting your browser entirely.
