Hi from me too, luispedroferreira. “Shared”, in this case, is mostly referring to the status of a folder vs “unshared”.

Since you’re still not seeing the Unshare button though, can you send me a screenshot of the options you’re getting on your end, so that I can have a look?

The link "unshare folder" is missing.
I have unshared all users one by one but I cannot unshare the folder itself

ilanalter, is this folder located within another shared folder perhaps? If yes, are you able to unshare the parent folder?
Are you seeing the same thing on different browsers?

NO - this is the parent folder
To make it clear - I have 2 folders in the same location
OA-XXX and OY-YYY - One of them I can Unshare and the second one I cannot Unshare
