Re: 'Couldn't delete item' - I can't delete any folder or file or change how has access to anything

Re: 'Couldn't delete item' - I can't delete any folder or file or change how has access to anything

Evening

 

I don't use the mobile app, I use safari as a browser for dropbox login.

 

I've tried this on shard folders and files and also ones that aren't but the result is the same....

I can't actually remove anyone from any file or folder. I just get this message

Thank you

Thanks for this additional info here, Matt.

 

Can you please let us know what your main browser is and which version you're using?

 

Also, have you tried to clear the cache of the browser, to see if that helps?

Hi Hannah

 

I've tried it in Edge and Chrome. Just cleared the cache for all time on Chrome and still the same issue 😞

 

Best Regards
