Where can I see a list of my shared folders?
It used to be that I could see my list of shared folders on the main page when signing in to Dropbox. I needed that to track what I have shared and to unshare when a project is complete. I can no l...
- It no longer exists. You'll need to locate each share in your main list of folders and manage them from there.
Thank you Rich. What a time waster that is.

Super User IIAgreed! It is just another in a growing list of features that have been removed by Dropbox.
Why was this removed from Dropbox? I needed this feature to determine what my shared folders were and clean them up now and then. I often share things with people I don't want to be permanent. This seriously makes me reconsider Dropbox as my go-to file sharing service. In fact, I've paid for it for years. This is simply not OK and you may lose a paying customer over it.
- MarkWe agree Sam.
We really do.
Have a look over at https://www.dropboxforum.com/t5/Sharing-and-collaboration/Locate-Shared-Folder/m-p/268440/highlight/false#M19192 and post your thoughts there as well.- Glad many agree. Doesn't look like there are any reply buttons on that thread. This is utter tosh in the name of simplification. This is a massive security and privacy problem having to peck through folder after folder to check, rather than present to me who I've allowed access to my files. Looking for alternatives now.
I'm not sure which is worse: the fact that a useful feature was removed, or that we're pulling our hair out trying to find it.
I believe Dropbox is trying to discourage people from unsharing or doing anything that would decrease the number of KB, MB, GB that someone is using. It's about $$$. My opinion.
