How to stop upload in a shared folder
Hello. I created my first shared folder today. Then I started uploading a folder of picturess onto it. However I thought I would have time to review each photo before it was shared. Too late, over 70...
Hey Selkie1, you mentioned you used the browser to upload content.
If you managed to close your browser, or just the Dropbox related tab there; that means the uploading process should be cancelled. You're good to delete the content that was added by mistake in the shared folder, and no new content should be uploaded when you open your laptop.
I hope this clarifies.
Thanks Walter. That will be helpful. But will more files be uploaded automatically when I open Dropbox on my laptop?

- Thanks Megan, that's very reassuring.👌
I will do that now and will get back to you if I have any issues.
In future, I realise that the shared folder is to be created first before adding any email addresses to it 👍
