after trying dropbox business, I have los admin rights of the folders that were in my free personal dropbox account. How to restore my admin rights?
It is saying --"You don’t have permission to manage membership of this folder"
Hi there @ipsita, thanks for posting!
When you click the "Share" option for the folders, what permissions does it show that you have?
Do you see another user as the "owner" of the folders?
Please feel free to send along any screenshots, excluding any personal info.
Let me know what you find!

The owner is "Everyone at Ipsita", which is the dropbox workspace that was created and which i unsubscribed:

It it not the fact that I can still edit, but the problem is I am no longer the owner of some these folders.
Hey there @ipsita; how are you today?
I'm sorry to jump in here; I just wanted to ask. Is it possible that you're currently in locked state?
In that case, everyone on the team will continue to have view-only access and further collaboration will not be possible. Team members will be able to leave at will if needed though.
Keep us posted on your findings.

I do not think it is a locked state, as all of us can add and remove files. But I cannot remove deleted files from trash.
Could you post a screenshot of the exact error you get so we can have a visual too @ipsita?
