Hey Charadras, thanks for reaching out to us about this!
It sounds like you're clicking on the little arrow next to the Share button which gives you some additional options, such as to Add to Trello.
Could you try clicking on top of the button that reads Share and then follow the instructions outlined in the article you mention?
Let me know if this helps!

The procedure for unsharing a folder that i have shared with someone is unnecessarily convoluted. I SHOULD be able to simply remove the person that i shared it with.
The fact that i have to go into the settings, and find a button to unshare (if i can even figure out to look there) is counterintuitive
Perhaps keeping it as a shared folder should be an option, but that should be the more complicated option for what i assume is the minority of people who want to remove the person that they've shared the folder with, but nonetheless want it to remain a shared folder.

Hi dp70, thanks for posting this on the forum!
Actually, you should be able to remove a specific member from a shared folder, without unsharing the folder altogether.
You can do this by following the steps outlined in this Help Center article.
If you need further help though, let me know.
