Who did I share my folder with?

Hi!  I was hoping if someone can kindly help me find a way to check who I shared a folder with as I do not remember sharing it with anyone but it has the shared icon and is listed under the shared ...

Hi Kashif Nurani, thanks for posting today.

It is possible to create a shared folder without inviting anyone to the folder. 

Currently, there isn't a way to see who you previously shared the folder with, if there was anyone. 

If you need to unshare the folder, you can follow these steps.

I hope this helps to clarify matters!

    Thanks Jay for the prompt feedback.

    The situation is that the folder already existed and was in the vault, but as the vault discontinued since 4th March, I moved it into another folder. I realized a day after that my vault folder and the other folder were labelled as shared around the same time I was moving them around (folder activity) . That is why I am concerned that how can this be as I never shared them with anyone.  


    Thanks again

      Did you move them in to a folder already shared? That would share them.

      You can see all shares at www.dropbox.com/events and view all events that happened at www.dropbox.com/events.

         I did not move them in an existing shared folder, because it was just these two folders (vault and the other) that were under the shared tab.
