The option to remove myself from a shared folder is not appearing.
Just like others have shared, the option to remove myself from a shared folder is not appearing. I needed to upload some large files to an organization's dropbox, which is owned by the organization. ...
It's super frustrating and apparently a new wrinkle to dropbox. I was the one who recommended we use this for large files and the organization has a pro account so I didn't think it would be an issue. I'll look into this when we have other webinars, that's the part I was planning to upload along with some other publications, but after this whole adventure, I'll give up on publications -_-

Shared folders have always used the quota up of all accounts within the share (unlike Google etc.). So 2gb of files in a share takes 2gb of quota from everybody in it. This isn't something that's changed unfortunately.
It is to stop people 'stacking' accounts to get loads of free space basically - which is necessary given how Dropbox doesn't get any other revenue for accounts that are open unlike Google which uses advertising sales etc.
