I can't remove myself from a shared folder I joined
A folder I joined sometime back does not offer the option for me to remove myself. Unfortunately it causing my account to be over capacity.
It shows my Dropbox user ID in the permissions box, but only with "can edit" as the only option ...
Go to your Sharing page and click the ellipsis next to the folder in question. Do you see an option that says Remove from Dropbox?
Yes, of course, you must be logged in to join a folder. I was indeed logged in. No I do not have two Dropbox accounts. It is only my guess that I was invited from a different email that had me thinking this might be the reason I cannot leave. It shows my Dropbox user ID in the permissions box, but only with "can edit" as the only option and no twirl out arrow. Unfortunately, a screenshot is too risky as this involves a legal case.
I do not see an option to insert an image, so here's a link.
