Cancelled subscription. This is such a terrible product. The bugs are crazy and the price is too high for the amount of storage you get. Ive lost too many weekends fixing dropbox bugs. Will never come back to it

      I am having the same issue. I highlight a folder, I click on the three dots to the right, but I do not get an option to Delete. I am the sole owner of the account, I never shared the folder with anyone, and I created the folder. This is happening on all my folders. Count me frustrated.

        Hi there canyonhiker - sorry to hear you're having issues with this.

         

        Could you clear your browser's cache or use another browser and let us know how it goes?

         

        If the issue persists, please send us a screenshot so that we can have a look too.

    Dropbox has turned into a terrible product. I have spent countless hours to try to migrate off of Dropbox and I'm still struggling to figure out why their platform is performing sooo poorly!

     

    I'm done with Dropbox - maybe that's how they'll learn to fix their bugs and start listening to customers.
