    The message can mean three things, either the owner of the folder, or an editor, or you yourself removed you from the shared folder. 

     

    For security and privacy purposes, it doesn't state who removed you from the folder, even if it was yourself.

Sorry to see you're having trouble, arthurtx.

 

When you say "shared paste", are you referring to a shared folder that you usually access via a link?

 

Are you the owner/creator of this shared folder?

 

If not, could it be that the owner of the folder removed your access from the folder?

    Hi Hannah, yes a shared folder that I can access through the desktop dropbox app
    No, is another person, but he doesnt know what happen, and I don't think he took away my access, or is this the only answer to my problem?

      Hi arthurtx, if your access has been removed from the shared folder, this means that someone in the folder deleted your access. 

       

      You'd need to contact the creator of the folder to re-invite you back so you can add it to your account again.
