How do I keep the contents of a shared folder when I'm removed from the folder?
Good Afternoon,
How do i keep a folder that is being unshared with me? I do not see a checkmark or option anywhere that says keep folder when unshare. Also the person who is unsharing the fold...
Its quite a big amount about 1.2tb. I would like to prevent having to do that solution.

Dropbox StaffHi Brab, thanks for the details.
Is the other user the owner of the folder, or is it a separate person entirely?
Only the owner of the folder can provide the option to keep a copy of the shared folder when a member is removed.
Keep me posted.
Its from a Teams folder. We are not getting any option to keep the folder so far.

If it's from a team folder, then you won't be able to keep a copy for security purposes.
You'll need to duplicate the folder to another private folder on your account, or download the folder to your machine.
