I don't see the option to unshare a folder, even though I'm the owner
I'm facing some problems when trying to stop sharing several folders I'm the owner. The share icon is present, but I am the only member of this folder. I understand that until I remove myself from the shared folder, it will remains shared; however, I can neither find the option to remove myself from the folder nor the option to "unshare folder". What should I do?? It seems that the issue of unsharing folders is very common on this forum, perhaps indicating that this feature isn't as easy to use as the Dropbox team thinks, or the documentation is not explicit as it should be.
Give us the ability to hide the names/emails of members in shared folders.
The hide feature for viewer visibility is strictly for link sharing. Turning off this feature still enables all members inside the folder to view each others emails and names. This is a problem for years and still no new feature added to remedy this issue. It is a HUGE issue when you have 100+ clients agents and not being able to update 100+ folders every 2nd day if a small update occurs..so adding all the emails of the different members (agents etc..) isnt possible for 1 folder only. Since they all can see who else is in the folder (which is a BIG no no)... and no we dont want to share a link..I want to be able to open dropbox, see the folder, click it, view everything, and not be able to see all the competition under the members list. simple just add an option to disable member viewing as well...more than 5 years now and counting..nothing has been done to adress this NEED from the consumer. I pray I am just so misinformed and that there is some feature or setting hiding somewhere to help with this. (8 months ago I was informed by a dropbox member (alicedropbox) that this feature is not available YET, so I hope atleast its being worked on). I am a little frustrated as this will save so much time and effort, being able to edit only one folder after each update or change.
How can share folders to a non-team member without adding them to my team?
How can I share a folder with an individual without them being added as a member to our organizations Dropbox account? I want to be able to share a folder without them being added to our team as we would then have to pay for eavh folder shared.
Will the URL of a shared empty Dropbox folder change once I upload files to it?
Hi, I am writing an important application, and have to include a URL to a Dropbox folder with images in it. I don't have time to upload the images until a few days after the application deadline (they will take a while to start the process). If in the application form I provide a link to an empty Dropbox folder, will that URL stay the same after I have uploaded the files? Also - it is requested that the Dropbox "can be accessed anonymously". How do I do that? Many thanks, CJ
A shared folder has a different name for the rest of the members.
I am sharing folders with a colleague. The good news is that I can see what new files and subfolders he is creating. The bad news is that the folder he is using has a different name from the one I am using. My folder is called "Accounts and Bills" but his is called "Accounts Foundation". How can this have happened? It is very confusing. Surely the names should be the same?
