Hey,

I get a "no_permission" error (You don’t have permission to perform this action.). I am trying to remove a member from a shared folder - "Project F". That shared folder is in another shared folder "Projects" that is located on the team namespace (root) of the dropbox.

Thanks! That's helpful. It looks like this happens when setting the 'leaveACopy' parameter to true. We'll look into it, but for now, you can work around this by setting that to 'false'.

    Thank you for the solution Greg. Would you be able to tell me if this will be investigated soon or give me some estimate ? 

    Thanks!

      This is open with the team, but I can't offer a timeline unfortunately. I'll follow up here once I have an update.

        I heard back from the team, and they confirmed that this is the expected behavior. For team-owned content like this, you can't leave a copy with the removed shared folder member. I've asked them to update the documentation to clarify this.
