"You have not joined this folder" on folders that I own

Hi. Some of my own shared folders read "You have not joined this folder" when I am the owner. Anybody any idea why this? Thank you.

Yes, I can rejoin. But I do not understand what it means that I have not added it to my account. All folders have been added from my account...

Basically, you can create a shared folder, invite other users to it if need be, and at some point you temporarily removed it from your account, even though you still own it.

    I never deleted any of these folders, neither temporarily.

    Will it be a problem if I clic on Rejoin?

      Hey anazacco, if you click to add the folders to your account, they will be added to it and will take up space in it, that's all.

       

      I hope this helps!

        Thank you. Does "take space" mean that they will be sync'd on my laptop as offline?? What does this have to do?
