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. ...
I used to share large folders of content without an issue, but now there's all these barriers to uploading and using it. This is definitely within the last two years as we have had student workers where I basically mirrored our server folder for them to use remotely and it was fine. We're not even talking that amount of data here and, if your assertion is correct, then no one else is going to be able to upload to the entire folder. Wow...Again, at least we got the folders up that aren't in the Google Drive. Times change and companies do as well, I understand. This just left a bad taste for me and I will definitely not be recommending using Dropbox in the future to anyone else that's for sure! Way to alienate some longtime users!! I also noticed they limit customer support to essentially this chat, they certainly have their base users in mind and anyone else outside their bubble is not important.

Mark is correct. Shared folders have always worked this way. Nothing has changed in the way shared folders work for as long as I can remember. If you have a need to upload a large amount of data to someone else's account, without having to upgrade your account as well, the a File Request is the best option.
