You might see that the Dropbox Community team have been busy working on some major updates to the Community itself! So, here is some info on what’s changed, what’s staying the same and what you can expect from the Dropbox Community overall.

Unknown file in recent
I’m not sure if this is the right place to post this question, I’m new here. I logged into Dropbox from my phone earlier today to find a folder to share with a friend and discovered a random video ...
Hi Jay, yes, I can find the file there. So it has been shared with me. Although I don't know who the person is that's shared it (well, I can see the name, but don't know anyone by that name), and nor does that explain why it appeared in my recently accessed files, when I didn't access it, and it was shared over a month ago. I don't recall receiving a notification that the file had been shared with me either.
I have no interest in the file and would ideally just like to delete it from my Dropbox altogether. I don't seem to have that option. And I don't seem to have a way to contact the person who shared it, to ask them why they shared it (or to remove it).

Dropbox StaffThanks for the info, as the file is on the shared files page, you should have the option to click the ellipsis next to the file and then click 'Remove me'.
Thank for your help with this Jay. I don't have that option for this file. I do have that option for other files, but when I click on the file the only options I get are Download and Save As.
