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.
As an admin, I want to be able to easily see what folders a specific user belongs to. I'd love to be a be able to go to the "Members" page, click on a user, and then see a list of all the folders the...

I share my various folders and files with different people. I want to remove one person ("X") from all the folders and files that are shared with X.
Is there any menu I can go to to simply "Unshare all folders and files with X"? Or is my only option to go through every folder and file to check who it's shared with and remove X if it's shared with X?
Thanks!

You need to do it on a per folder basis I'm afraid. There isnt a way to remove one person from everything in one go.
- dharma7 years agoNew member | Level 2Oh man, ok that's gonna be a lot of work. Hopefully Dropbox can build this feature in down the line.
Many thanks for your help on this, much appreciated!- Walter7 years agoDropbox Staff
Thanks for your suggestion dharma - great idea. As such, I'm passing this along to the dev team for consideration - it would be great to have an option to remove a person from all of your shared folders in bulk.
Thank you for your feedback and have a lovely day ahead!

Yes please add this. This has been an absolute pain for me for years.
- MrRogers837 years agoHelpful | Level 6Is this also true for Dropbox Enterprise?
- Walter7 years agoDropbox Staff
Yes, indeed MrRogers83.
If the person you'd like to remove from your shares is a part of your Team though, you'd be able to delete them from the team.
I hope this makes sense and let me know if you have any further questions please. Thanks.

Has this been fixed since this was posted? seems like a simple and very common need. thx!!

Hey LearningLibrary - could you elaborate on what exactly would you like to accomplish so as to see what can be done for your case?
As this is not an option at this moment (as I mentioned above if you're an admin of a team you can remove them from the team completely).
Moreover, as we're always looking for user input regarding our website, I'll make sure to include your comments in my internal report to our development team.
If there's anything else I can do for you in the meantime, please let me know. Thank you!

I really miss this feature where I can search for a person and see what content is shared with them and then manage those sharing permissions in one place.
