Shared folders taking up all my storage - How do I get out of shared folders?
I've run out of storage and its because of others sharing folders with me. How do I get out of shared folders?

You definitely have one or more shared folders that are taking up the majority of your space. Go to your Files page and if you don't see a Members header column, click the Type or Modified column and select Members. Then look for any folder that looks like this:
If you find any, hover your cursor over the folder to make the Share button appear, then click it. From there you can remove your access to the folder and remove it from your account.
