Remove myself from shared folder

Hi, I was recently added to a shared folder, which has taken my data over my plan limit.  I cannot see a way to remove the folders from my dropbox.   Please help!   Thanks   Buff

    Found that when searching initially.  Can't do either of those options.

    You can remove a shared folder from your Shared Folders page.

Hi again Buff Daddy,

It looks like you're talking not about simple shared folder but for team folder/space. Only admins can manage such folders (including adding/removing members to there). If you're admin, log in as such and take appropriate steps. If you don't have admin rights, ask you admin to do it (or to increase the available space to you). 😉

Hope this helps.

Здравко - not an admin.  Did send them a message but not 100% they are totally tech savvy.

 

Thanks for your help.
