I was unable to do this. I unshared the folders, but they keep on showing as if they were shared! What can I do?

Hey gracecruzch, I hope you’re doing well. 

 

Can you please describe to me the steps that you’re taking in order to unshare your folders? Are you still seeing two figures on their folder icon?

    Hi Nancy,

    1. Log in at dropbox.com

    2. Looked for the shared folder I want to unshare: go on the 3 dots on the right

    3. Share> Share with Dropbox

    4. Who can access

    5. Select the persons I want to remove > REMOVE

      Thanks for that! I think I know where the issue lies. 

       

      It sounds like you’re removing the members of the folder, but not unsharing it as a whole. 

       

      In order to do this, please follow these steps: 

       

      Sign in to dropbox.com. 

      Hover over the folder you’d like to unshare, go to the 3 dots on the right, select Share> Share with Dropbox

      Click the settings icon (gear icon).

      Click Unshare folder.

      Click Unshare.
