How to stop sharing a folder in Dropbox
If we have shared a folder in Dropbox and now we want to delete it or we want to use it in the future without the other users seeing the content of new files that we can add, what we have to do is stop sharing the folder . The alternatives offered by the online storage service are different depending on whether we are the creators of that directory or only users. In .com we explain how to stop sharing a folder in Dropbox.
one
Access your Dropbox account and scroll to the directory you want to stop sharing . Right-click and check "Shared folder options."
two
As you can see, in this case we are the owners of the shared folder on Dropbox, that is, we are the ones who created it and then invited another user. We have, then, two options:
- Stop sharing folder .
- Leave folder.
3
Click on the first option, "Stop sharing folder" and we will have the alternative of allowing the other user of the directory to keep a copy with all the files it contains or no longer have access to your Dropbox .
This is an option we have for the fact of being owners, if we were not we could only stop sharing the folder without further ado .
4
If in step 2 we had chosen the option "Leave folder", Dropbox would simply offer us the possibility of joining again later.
5
We now check that in the case that we do not own a shared directory in Dropbox, the only option we have is "Leave folder", so that we will never have access to delete the directory of the Dropbox account of other users, option reserved exclusively for the people who created the folder.
