Where can I see a list of my shared folders?
It used to be that I could see my list of shared folders on the main page when signing in to Dropbox. I needed that to track what I have shared and to unshare when a project is complete. I can no longer find that list. All I see is a list of shared files that I can add to Dropbox. They are all very old. I don't know what that means. Where is the list of current shared folders? Thanks!
- It no longer exists. You'll need to locate each share in your main list of folders and manage them from there.

- RichAgreed! It is just another in a growing list of features that have been removed by Dropbox.
Why was this removed from Dropbox? I needed this feature to determine what my shared folders were and clean them up now and then. I often share things with people I don't want to be permanent. This seriously makes me reconsider Dropbox as my go-to file sharing service. In fact, I've paid for it for years. This is simply not OK and you may lose a paying customer over it.
- MarkWe agree Sam.
We really do.
Have a look over at https://www.dropboxforum.com/t5/Sharing-and-collaboration/Locate-Shared-Folder/m-p/268440/highlight/false#M19192 and post your thoughts there as well. - Thanks. I had the same problem. Clearly an attempt by Dropbox to have the free storage used up. Will therefore limit my use o Dropbox
- Glad many agree. Doesn't look like there are any reply buttons on that thread. This is utter tosh in the name of simplification. This is a massive security and privacy problem having to peck through folder after folder to check, rather than present to me who I've allowed access to my files. Looking for alternatives now.
I am going to investigate other options.
Perhaps my post in another thread is a workaround for some of you?
Best
Thank you SamuelT - That will help for now.
