Start by accessing the Dropbox site by right-clicking on the Dropbox icon in the Windows notification area. On the site, click once on the folder to select it. Then click in the toolbar on Shared folder options.
In the window that opens, click on Members. You then have 3 possibilities, 2 of which will save you disk space:
- Button Leave Folder: this will make it disappear from your Dropbox space without changing anything to its content or affecting other people who have access to it.
- Button Cancel Folder Sharing: no one but you will be able to access the content anymore. Useful for you to continue storing files on your Dropbox space.
- By clicking on the arrow next to the name, you can do a transfer of ownership. By doing so, only the new owner of the folder will be able to undo the sharing or remove a user from the list of people allowed to access it.
