Can't unshare a folder
Hello, I am a French Guy so sorry for my English. I am not able to cancle the sharing of a folder even if I do this on the setting of that folder. Like this way : https://www.dropboxforum.com/t5/...
In my experience, this happens when a shared folder currently has—or previously had—shared folders within it (in Dropbox for Business). The use case is simply not well supported. It becomes buggy at best, and in some cases—I can't figure out exactly what triggers it—IMPOSSIBLE to every unshare some of the outer folders.
The "unshare" feature in Dropbox could be a million times better, and since there is no built in way to handle it i got a tip about "Watermint".
I ran into a situation where i needed to unshare some hundred folders with hundreds of users, and the official answer was "you need to remove the users one by one from the folders one by one" which would have taken me weeks to do.
But, with Watermint you can "batch" the unsharing, so have a look.
