    <description>&lt;P&gt;The behavior of putting back the unshared folder in your home folder instead of the original location does not sound expected. Would you be able to share a sample of the API requests/responses showing a case of this so we can look into it specifically? (Be sure to redact your access token though.) Feel free to &lt;A href="https://www.dropbox.com/developers/contact" target="_self"&gt;open an API ticket&lt;/A&gt; if you'd prefer to share privately. Thanks!&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;hello,&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;I'm trying to restructure folders I share with my customers ( roughly 5k+ folders ). My folder structure has a simple parent-&amp;gt;child relationship, with the parent having a variable amount of children. Some of the child folders have been shared individually.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;I'm trying to unshare the child folders and only share the parent folder.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;I've created a test folder, 5 parent folders with 1-3 shared child folders, which I'm using to test the script I've written.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;I'm using the api endpoint /sharing/unshare_folder, and it works for the most part, using the node sdk to make the calls.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;However, sometimes the unshared child folders move from the parent folder and end up in my main dropbox folder for no apparent reason.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;I noticed that dropbox seems to remove shared folder and put the folder back unshared, and I wonder if it has something to do with that?&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;I'm rate limiting requests to every 3 seconds per parent folder and also only calling the unshare_folder endpoint when this error seems to occur.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;any help on this would be great! thank you.&lt;/P&gt;</description>
