I can't remove myself from a shared folder I joined
A folder I joined sometime back does not offer the option for me to remove myself. Unfortunately it causing my account to be over capacity.

Go to your Sharing page and click the ellipsis next to the folder in question. Do you see an option that says Remove from Dropbox?

It does not say anything as the drop down is not available in the permissions box.

Is it a Team folder by any chance? If so the Team owner needs to remove you

No on team. Just invited from individual.

Hi Joe M.10, thanks for bringing this to our attention.
What options do you see when you click on the ellipsis by the folder itself and then the Share > Share folder option?
Any other info or screenshots would be helpful!

Sorry but a screenshot would be a privacy issue. it shows the owner, and several others as "can edit"and the same for mine. No drop down options are available for my email.
I was invited via another email address I own that does not match my DB login. wonder if this could be the issue?
