    Hey baip, thanks for using Dropbox and happy Friday!
     

    This sounds expected if you disbanded the team and I'm afraid you'll need to share these folders anew.

     

    I wish I had a better answer for you.

I have a screenshot.  How can I send it to you?

    Hey baip, if the owner of the folder was a member who's left the team or the folder, the folder won't have an owner.

     

    If you want, you can create a brand new folder and copy the contents of this folder to the new one, so that you can re-share it with the people that need access and you can be the owner.
