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?

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?

Could you clarify how you were able to join this folder while not being invited via that specific email?
Did you click the link in the email while logged into that account? Did you need to request access to the folders?
