    Hey arktis, I hope you're doing well! 

     

    Have you checked my message here? If you’re trying to unshare a shared folder and the unshare button isn’t present, then there is a chance that the folder is or contains a nested shared folder.

     

    In these cases, it isn’t possible to unshare the shared folder, without first moving the nested shared folder(s) out of the folder tree.
     

    Have you checked to make sure this isn't the case? 

     

    Let me know more, and we'll take it from there!
