Dropbox Paper leave a shared document or folder

Dropbox StaffA person sent me hate mail via Dropbox Paper and I am unable to remove it from my dashboard everytime I access Dropbox Paper. I need an actual solution to this.
I'm facing the same issue as many others, where I'm unable to remove myself from documents I have viewed. I should not have to contact the document owner to remove me, I should be able to just remove myself. I have a paid subscription with dropbox for more than 2 years now. If this issue does not get solved and I continue to see poorly support that dropbox gives I'll definetly cancel my subscription and move to some other cloud storage provider.
Amazingly this is the very reason I no longer pay Dropbox for a premium account and NO longer use Paper. If a company cannot resolve something so simple and dont want to lissen to their paying users then I dont want to be associated with them.
Hi -- I don't find that this solution answers my question. I share Dropbox Paper notes with many other people at work. When people leave a training session, they are annoyed by the many shared documents -- but when they archive them, they are archived for me, too, and I still need them. How can I keep them as normal and have that person remove *themselves* from the shared document so they don't clutter the other person's Paper workspace?
Hi there,
it´s now 2020 and I have completly the same problem. Clicked on an old Paper Dokument link to see if there are still important infos for me. After that I wanted to delete it from my list or leave it, so that I don´t have to see it in my list anymore. The answers are still the same like here. "Ask the owner to kick you out or "archive" it. Archiving doesn´t help, it just keeps being there. Absolutly useless and bad experience. I feel the same. I also will never click anymore on a paper dokument and I´m also thinking to leave Dropbox completly and go with another cloud system as I feel they are cutting my freedoms here. 2 years later and no solution. :D That´s insane. I think if the owner changed his email address or just don´t answer, you will be aaaaaaalways in that paper dokument. And yes. I also got pre prepared mails and stuff where they are ass friendly and talk about god and the world but the problem is still there. Also 2 years after.
Very satisfying.
Regards, the guy who´s stuck forever in a paper dokument. :)
Double that.
This Issue and the fact that Dropbox and Papers Folder structures are seperated.
And just to steal a march on the incoming auto-reply: Any hints to the „share idea“-Thread is unnecessary. This issues are years old, people are craving and tons of pro-users don't use paper because of these two inconsistent elements.
I would never cancel my pro-account because dropbox has become essential for my daily life.
But no development on years old features, that seem to make a difference for a huge part of the community. And to be honest: this massive amount of just a few but heavily used textexpander-like sentences from the team - premade standard auto-replys – feel like an insult to any paying client .
Best regards

This issue is making me not use Paper at all, as my organization is HUGE and I can't get rid of all the junk that is shared with me! I can't even choose to "unfollow" a folder. Gonna use a different platform. Too bad.
Actually, only a editor can archive or delete a document so if the Doc was shared without editing, there is no way to even move it to a folder. It's been annoying me since I started on the beta as I ha 2 document that are stuck. I moved from Paper for that reason alone.

- Is there an update on this? I have docs that were shared with me that I no longer need to view, but I cannot get them out of my view.
