Dropbox Paper leave a shared document or folder
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 wh...
Agree with everyone else here who's outraged.
Get this - I can still view a bunch of documents from an ex-employer because they were accidentally shared to my dormant personal account because my gmail was stuck in the internal google directory from an initial consultancy period before I joined fulltime.
Perhaps your enterprise security team can get a little spooked now and dedicate some engineering resource to resolving this? Or will you wait til it blows up in your face and tanks your stock price?
Since this is an issue for a very very long time. It not only does Dropbox not listens to it's paying users, it also shows that Dropbox does not repsect the privacy of it's paying users. Dropbox forces me to contact the owner just to opt-out of an invitation I do not want to be involved anymore or being reminded about. Dropbox pushes me in unwanted personal situations I do not want.
Its been almost 2 years since I made this post and the issue still there, I have stoped using Paper entirely and now use Apple free Notes App, they made a lot of improvements that simply werer not there in 2017, now I can share notes and remove members or those members can also remove themselfs if they choose to do so, pretty simple and logical.
Needless to say that I am dissapointed at the Dropbox team for not fixing such an easy thing, I bet this will take a dev no more than 1 hour to fix, yet they just don't care.
I was one of the first few Dropboxers to invite lots of users to the platform and was super exited when it was new, now for simple file sharing there are a lot of other options, and for collaborating others are coming up too.
Dropbox do all your paper users a favor and allow them to be removed from shared documents, stop making your users angry and make them feel like you don't care.
I agree with everyone on this thread. I had plans to start using paper, but this bug is just completely unacceptable. And it is here, after 2 years!?!
I am having the same problem. This a joke! It's funny how they are just pretending that unfollowing the document solves the issue. It doesn't, and asking another person to remove you from a file is not a solution.
It's wasting everyones's time.
