Super User IIYou can unshare it without you leaving - unsharing does that.
Go to the folder, click on 'Share Folder', then click Settings and tap 'Unshare Folder' at the bottom of the popup.
Hi Mark. That's the problem, there is no "Unshare Folder" at the bottom of the popup. I still didn't understand quite well how shared folders work in Dropbox. That "Unshare Folder" option you mention, I see it in some folders, but some other times I don't even tho the folder is shared (with the 2 people icon), and that's why I'm saying that Dropbox should explain better how shared folders work.
What are my options to unshare a shared folder with no "unshare folder" option?

Hi from me too, luispedroferreira. “Shared”, in this case, is mostly referring to the status of a folder vs “unshared”. So, even if you can only access a shared folder and no one else, it still remains shared until its status has been changed and it’s been unshared by the owner (in this scenario you).
Since you’re still not seeing the Unshare button though, can you send me a screenshot of the options you’re getting on your end, so that I can have a look?
The link "unshare folder" is missing.
I have unshared all users one by one but I cannot unshare the folder itself
