I removed members but folder is still shown as shared. Why?

Thanks for the quick response, Walter, but this doesn't resolve the issue.

For my personal account, I was able to use the "unshare" tool to remove the "buddies" icon on shared folders. imho, that icon and "sharing" should be removed from a folder once all the people it is shared with have been removed. it's stupid to think that the folder is shared once I've removed everybody, which is the confusion that Kzoppo is voicing above.

For folders within a Team Folder, if I've shared them outside of Teams, because there is no "unshare" option, even after removing everybody, the folder retains the "buddies" icon on my computer, suggesting that it's still shared to people outside my team, making it even harder to determine what's shared/not, and further infuriating me at how terrible Dropbox is at one of its core features... sharing.

To solve this, I have to duplicate a folder, delete the original folder, wait for the new folder to fully sync, then rename it to the older folder name. What a hack.

I hire contractors on a daily basis, and this is just one of the many shortcomings in Dropbox that don't make it appropriate for working with contractors. It's nearly impossible to locate all the shared folders I've got with various contractors because dropbox REMOVED this functionality.

So, to try to follow what Dropbox seems to be trying to FORCE me to do, I tried signing up a couple contractors with licenses to join my business account at a cost of $15/month, so they could join the teams which would let me manage their access better. however, they've already got a business account, so they can't join my teams - Dropbox literally won't allow it. 

Sharing the old way sucks because Dropbox has removed basic functionality for managing shared folders, and the permissions management in Teams that Dropbox seems to be pushing me toward by way of lack of visibility into sharing don't work with contractors who have multiple clients with separate business accounts. Why is it IMPOSSIBLE to view all folders that are shared in one place and/or all files/folders shared with a given user in one places!?!? that's absurd and it's a huge security risk that I can't easily remove somebody from files/folders after they've been removed from the team when I can't use Teams to manage them, since they already have a business account.

As far as I can tell, you're deliberately writing yourselves into obsolesence in a world where more and more work is shared and handled by contractors, so instead of taking my money to make my work with contractors easier, I'm now going to move to another solution that does have advanced, easy permissions management and makes working with teams of contractors easier.

I've tried hard to make Dropbox work, but it just falls short on too many levels to be a practical long-term solution without better sharing features and advanced permissions management that actually work.
