I am the owner of a shared folder for an organization with which I am no longer affiliated. How do I remove my access to the folder without making a new owner?
Hey @Snelephant, I hope you're doing well!
You can either unshare the folder entirely, remove individual members or pass the ownership to someone else if you wish to be the only one removed from it.
I hope this clarifies!
Thanks for the reply.
I should clarify:
Thanks,
Kerry
Thanks for your fast reply @Snelephant!
In that case, I'm afraid there's not much that we can do.
What you wish to achieve isn't feasible.
Megan,
I encourage Dropbox to provide a way for the owner of a shared folder to relinquish ownership without transferring ownership.
It seems like this scenario is not uncommon. I am no longer associated with the organization, cannot contact the members, and do not know enough about the current circumstances to safely name someone else as owner of the shared folder.
Hi there, @Snelephant, thanks so much for your feedback on this.
If you had a way of contacting the other members, you could ask them to create a copy of the folder, as a workaround, so the person that would create the copy and then share it with the others, would be the new owner.
Nonetheless, we appreciate your comments and your feedback has been passed along to our team.
Unfortunately there is no way to contact the other members of the shared folder. There should still be a way for me to remove myself as owner without deleting the folder.
Hi @Snelephant, we appreciate the feedback on this matter. We take all comments into consideration when improving the Dropbox site and services.
