How to unshare all files previously shared with a specific person?

Is there a way to unshare with "one click" files, which have been previously shared with one specific person? A team member has left the team and his access should be removed. However there are dozens of folders that have been shared. So is it possible to unshare them without going separately to each folder?

    No, there's not an easy way to do that for multiple folders. You would need to go to each shared folder and remove their access.

    Hey swilander - thanks for posting on our Community!

    When you say a team member, can you clarify if you were part of the same Dropbox for Business teams account?

    If so, are you a member of the team or a team admin? Are you referring to shared folders or team folders?

    Let us know more information and we'll take it from there.

    Sure - it's a personal account and I'm the admin or owner of the folders and have shared them with this other person. Sorry about the mix up, I referred team as a real life situation, not a Dropbox feature. :-)

    I hope this clarifies the situation!
