How do I leave a shared Dropbox folder?

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:

1. Hover over the folder in your Files tab.
2. Without clicking on the folder, select the ellipsis (the button with the three dots on the right side of the folder).
3. 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!

Lusil, THANKS!

it was exactly what you wrote, and clicking "Share" brought up the "Remove my sharing". 

Quick and accurate support, much appreciated!!!

Anytime, hansK! 

Stepping on this solved thread but very similar to my issue except I want to remove my acces to some of the folders in a share not all. Basically I volunteer with a few non profit entities and one has a share folder of 10G, I only need like two of the folders in that and Dropbox is beind dumb and bothering me to upgrade my account because of being over storage limit. Its only those other files that I dont use or want BUT I cannot remove my access to single folders inside the drive and can only remove the entire share.

Hey rafikijade, thanks for nudging us on this thread!

Currently, there's no option that allows you to remove yourself from individual subfolders of a shared folder. 

However, you can ask the user who shared the folder to:

1. Share the subfolders instead of the whole folder. In this case, they'll have to usnhare the already exisitng shared (parent) folder first. 
2. Send you a shared link to the subfolders. That way, you'll still able to preview the content and it won't take up space in your account. 

I hope this helps, but let me know if you have any other questions. Thanks!

Dear memmbers and fellows. I might have come to solution on how to quit a shared folder and get it out of your dropbox. Please follow as exact as possible. (I have uploaded photos as well as your guide). Though this gets rid of the folder I don't know if it may get rid of the space it once ocupied (It should free some space, adn if not, we have to ask why this happens to Dropbox Team).

Guide and images below.

Step 1. Go to your main panel in dropbox websitem where all the folders show up.

Step 2. Hover over the area where it says the number of members that folder has (DON'T hover over the "share" button) Be careful of hovering over the word "3 members" (or whatever the number of members there are.

Step 3. Click on that word (the number of members)

Step 4. A window will pop up with thelist of members of the folder (including you). 

Step 5. Click that tiny arrow that points downward next to your name on the right side.

Step 6. A tiny window will pop up with a message. Then click on the las line hwere it says something like "quit my acces".

Step 7. You are now free of that folder!  Have a look at the images below.

Have a nice day and hipe this will help other people looking for the same. Spread the word. Cheers!
