    Hey Padidto5, 
     
    To remove yourself from the shared folder while you’re a member, try doing so from the website:
    1. Sign in to the website.
    2. Click Files.
    3. Navigate to the shared folder you want to permanently remove from your Dropbox account.
    4. Select the Share button that should appear next to the folder when you hover over it.
    5. Find your name under the list of emails. 
    6. Click on the Can view/Can edit that’s next to your name.
    7. Select Remove my access.
    If you’re not seeing this option or you’re still having trouble with this, let me know.

I was sent an invite to join a Dropbox to upload my tax papers. I did and now want to remove access but there is an owner and I'm an editor. How do I unlink from this person?
