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.

    This option does exist.  You have to sign into dropbox online, through a web browser.  On the left-hand side there are a bunch of options: Home, All Files, Recent, Starred, Photos, Shared, File Requests, Deleted Files.  Click on "Shared" and it will show you all the folders you are sharing and the date you shared them.  I do pay for my dropbox, so I'm not sure if this is an option available in the free version of dropbox.

    I'm afraid you cannot MartinNID. No such functionality exists.

    Thank you for a quick response. Does this feature exist in another dropbox plan?

    I want to find out if a leak exist in my Dropbox but I can not find all shared folders and files in a nice single overview. Why is this not implemented? is there an alternative trough the app?
