How to I change users' access to a shared folder?

How do we withdraw shared access to files from previous invitees? I want to edit (reduce) the members who can access one set of folders.

    Log on to dropbox in browser and navigate to the folders you want to restrict access to. Click on "members" and change the view/edit rights, or remove a user entirely.

     

    If you are using dropbox for desktop, right-click on the shared folder and select Share, then do as above.

Thanks groundhog. Selecting 'share' was counterintuitive when wanting to unshare, but that's where the options are. Problem solved :)
