There is a folder structure in Dropbox. All folders have shared access to invited users by email addresses. On some of the folders, there are icons in the form of two people. How to remove this or why are these icons not on all folders to which access has been granted?
Hey @Sandman77, thanks for reaching out to us.
Any folder that's been shared with another Dropbox user via email invitation should have the "two people" icon on it.
If you don't see this icon on a folder that's shared, please make sure that the folder you're looking at is the one that's actually shared.
Meaning, it could be a subfolder or the parent folder of this folder that's actually shared. Is that the case here?
Let me know!

Root folder has shared access, nested folders inherit it. But there are a few with the same icon as in the screenshot.
Hey @Sandman77, thanks for the screenshot!
Is it possible that the particular subfolder is shared with different people than the parent?
