How can I unshare a folder?

How do I UNSHARE an entire folder?  Seems like the latest updated to Dropbox eliminated the "unshare a folder" option from the settings.  Never had a problem unsharing before, but since they eliminated the option, what's the solution now?

 

I don't want to just "remove" people from the folder (which seems to be all I can do now). I want to UNSHARE the entire folder.


Their instructions on unsharing don't help, since there is no longer an "unshare" button/link when I click the folder setting.

  • This is strange, but the 'Unshare folder" link is now BACK!  I had sent an email this morning as well (since chat wasn't working).  So it seems to have been resolved for now!

     

    And this issue was for ALL shared folders (which also had subfolders within the main shared folder.  But I was trying to unshare the main folder and allow the other members to keep a copy.  But the "unshare folder" link/button was completely gone from the website AND the app.  It seems to be back now).

    Hey rmt13, thanks for reaching out to us today.

     

    Would you mind sending us a screenshot of what you see when you click on the share button next to the folder on our website and then on the gear icon?

     

    Is this a subfolder of another folder?

     

    Let me know and we'll go from there.
