How do I leave a shared Dropbox folder?
My friend invited me to share a 3gb folder she had. I accepted. Now I want to leave the folder and cant. I followed the advice from: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pZoTpNkvPCI
The problem is that...
The only options under the Share button are:
- Invite via email
- Add to Trello
There are 13 members on this folder and I'd really prefer not to contact the owner of the folder if possible. Thanks.
I face the same situation: see no option "

Hey dooruser and hansK, I'd be more than happy to help!
To make sure we're on the same page, could you send me a screenshot (without any personal info) of what you see when you click on the Share button next to the shared folder you're trying to remove your access from?
Looking forward to hearing back from you!
- I am having the same issue. I have MANY files from a shared folder Iâd like to remove but canât see how to do it. These were all shared with me.

Hey Redthreadmom, thanks for checking in with us!
At first, please note that any files you delete from the shared folder will be removed for every other member as well.
If you don't want to have access to the shared folder, you can remove yourself by following the steps outlined here.
If you're having trouble with this though, please let me know at which point exactly you're getting stuck and I'd be more than happy to help look into it.
Keep me posted!
Hi Lusil, can't figure out how to add in the screenshot. But when I hoover the mouse over the folder I like to remove my access to, I don't have the option "

Thanks for getting back to me, hansK.
From what I understand, you're doing this from the website, but you're clicking on the little arrow icon that appears next to the Share button.
For this reason, could you please click on the Share button itself and see if that does the trick?
If you're still having trouble with this, let try something different:
- Hover over the folder in your Files tab.
- Without clicking on the folder, select the ellipsis (the button with the three dots on the right side of the folder).
- Click on the Share option that you should be given on the drop-down menu.
Let me know if this helps even a little bit!
