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.

Allow Users to Leave a Shared Dropbox Paper Document
Currently when a Dropbox Paper document is shared with you it's impossibe to remove yourself from it. Not only this, but all others that the document has been shared with can see your email address. ...
I accidentally moved a Paper doc into a folder. Didn't realize it was "shared" to me. Realizing my mistake, I tried to move it to another private folder, but was warned "26 people will gain access [to my private folder]". Whoa. Not an option, so I deleted the paper doc.
Next, tried to remove myself from the shared folder to avoid confusion...and... and... got to the ~3 year old thread asking for this feature. Seriously? What possible explanation could exist for this feature not existing already, or not even considered in all that time?
