Leaving a shared folder without notifying the owner
If I leave a shared folder, will the owner of that folder be notified?

Yes, Evelyn, I'm certain. 🙂
You can test this on your end with a test shared folder, if you want as well.

Hey everlynfrank, thanks for posting your question to the Dropbox Community today!
If you leave a shared folder, the owner will not get a notification about it.
As they can see who has access to the shared folder, though, if they check the "who can access" section, they'll see that you're no longer a member.
But they won't get notified when you leave.
Let me know if you have any questions.

are you certain? I have to be positive. This could cause real issue for me. Thanks.
