Remove access to shared folders by email address

[HeleneBeaudry]

I would suggest to add it a feature so we can search for specific email address outside the team. In the case of a collaborator that would not be a member of the team and for some reason a conflict occurs, we would have no option to quickly remove access to our folders. I suggest we can search by email address to see all the folders shared with this person, and have an option to remove all the access at the same time.

YES!!!!  Google has this for shared files in drive, why can you not search for folders shared with a specific contact so you're not stuck wasting time looking through potentially hundreds of individual folders to make sure you didn't forget one?  Please make like easy and add this feature.

Your idea will need a little more support before we share it with the team.

To encourage others to show some support we've updated the status!

This would be useful on the personal side as well. Stopping my ex from accessing a folder I has shared with her long ago could have been much easier.

Thank you for your idea, while we can’t take every idea forward we do regularly re-review and will update you if anything changes!

The list of ''We have found 30 people with whom your team collaborates'' upper members page looks like this kind of feature but this list is stuck to 30 collaborators only. To me, a quick and efficient feature of being able to see a complete list of all the external collaborators we share files with is pretty basic. Google has had this feature for a long time because according to their philosophy, this functionality is essential. I'm the one in the company that convinced our boss to migrate to Dropbox Business and had I known that it didn't exist (that this list of collaborators was set at 30 names at a time) I might not have chosen Dropbox. We are a show production company and we share a ton of files with freelancers, not having a tool that does that is a danger to our data theft.

@Max-Eloize I''ve had similar problems trying to keep a certain number of files on hand for customers. What I've ended up doing is creating separate folders for each and duplicating files for each folder. It eats up storage rapidly like that but I don't know how else to manage it otherwise. I wonder how many people do it this way and how much storage Dropbox would gain back by doing it.
