Delete, edit, and organize
Solve issues with deleting, editing, and organizing files and folders in your Dropbox account with support from the Dropbox Community.
I am having a problem, I read an article about how to manage projects using paper, the article had a link to a sample Paper Document, I clicked on it and I was added to the Document list of people who can see and commend along with a couple hundred more that also clicked the link, now that I looked at the file I want to remove it from my Paper Docs, but I cannot find the option to do so, I can archive my own documents and eventually delete them, but I cannot remove or leave that document that was "shared" with me.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
I am new to Dropbox Paper, I manage my notes elsewher but want to move all of them to Paper, I will pull the trigger once I can also have offline access to those notes on my Mac.
Seriously. What is the hold up?
A document was shared with me. I viewed it. I'm just a "viewer" so I have no way to remove myself. I show up in the "activity" of the document and I can't remove it from "Paper Home".
Please allow users to remove themselves from a document that was shared with them.
A person sent me hate mail via Dropbox Paper and I am unable to remove it from my dashboard everytime I access Dropbox Paper. I need an actual solution to this.
So that means that file someone else shared with me keeps annoying me seems like i have no control over my dropbox security [link to external website removed by moderation] as mentioned no unfollow or leave option. I appreciate the solution for this..
Hey there (@prelanov), could you elaborate a bit on what seems to be troubling you, so as to follow-up a bit more closely? Thanks in advance!

I really can't believe this is still such an issue. I'm experiencing the same problem. A document was shared with me, I no longer need it, I want it off of my "Paper Home" list of files.
Is there really no way to remove myself from the file - or at the very least remove it from my Home list?
I agree with a number of other people on this thread in that this is a fairly large annoyance for someone who collaborates with multiple teams. The lack of ability to organize files in these types of situations is grounds for abandoning Paper all together.

@Jane, I appreciate your response. And I acknowledge that this is the proposed solution that you have been suggesting for the last two years. I was hoping that a company that touts streamlined collaboration and workflow effeciency would have a better solution than me continually reaching out to the files' owner to remove them from my own dashboard.
I'm open to understanding why this is not an option. But in the meantime, I guess I'll just keep my fingers crossed that this feature gets put on your team's roadmap.

Can you please explain in detail, how that's possible? Thanks!
