I figured it out. Took a while. Turns out I had shared subfolders. I had to move each subfolder out to the root domain, at which point I was able to unshare them, then I moved them back. I did this for every subfolder then I was able to unshare the parent folder. Took a long time!

4 months agoHey spiels, thanks for reaching out to us.
I'll have to agree with Mark that there's no quick way to unshare folders at once.
As for the option to unshare a folder, it will only appear on a folder that has actually been shared, meaning the one that you've actually clicked the share button on and shared it.
If you have a parent folder but have shared some subfolders in it, only the subfolders will have the "unshare" option.
I hope that makes sense, but let me know if you still have trouble!
