You might see that the Dropbox Community team have been busy working on some major updates to the Community itself! So, here is some info on what’s changed, what’s staying the same and what you can expect from the Dropbox Community overall.

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.
Here are some work arounds.
(1)
(This description applies to the Mac, I'm hoping a PC user will add the how to for the PC)
- If you haven't already, install dropbox on your Mac.
- In your file manager (In the Mac it's called "Finder"), navigate to your dropbox folder.
- Click the appropriate column sort button at top. In the Mac, the column header is labeled "kind". Your folders are now grouped together and you can spot the shared folder icons because they have three little people on them.

This solution is for online browsing. It's not ideal but it should work.
- In your browser (such as chrome or internet explorer), navigate to and login in to your dropbox
- Manually search your folders by scrolling down the page, looking for the two person icon that shows for the shared folders (patience may be required).
- When you find a shared folder click the three dots in a line to call up the dropdwon menu and select "Rename".
- Add an extra word anywhere in the folder's name, for example your folder: "myphotos" might become: "myphotos shared-folder".
- Now use the search function at top of the page: search for "shared-folder", and all the folders that you put that term into, will be found.
Caution: since the folder name is changed you may need to resend the share invitation out to your friends again. Ideally you will always rename a folder before your share it and rename it again after you unshare it.
BTW...
before I wrote my reply the discussion thread had been labeled solved. But the solutiuon: "It no longer exists." is NOT a solution, in my opinion.
Thank you Bthom. My drop box is made up of nested folders going several folders deep for most. Either your solution does not work in this situation or I am not understanding clearly how to apply your solution. Thanks. Steve
