Folder sharing history

How can I see a list of users I shared a folder with? These users have lost their access privileges for the folder or do not use dropbox anymore.

    Sign-in to the Dropbox website, find the folder in your your Files list, and click the Share button to the right of it. The sharing options for that folder, along with a list of members, will open.

    Hey there (fireglory), you should be able to see this detail (depending on whether you’re the shared folder "Owner" or you’ve been granted “Can Edit” permissions)  if you navigate to your folderstructure ▶️ go to the ellipsis icon 💬 on the shared folder in question 👥 & click on Events. This should re-direct you to a view outlining your sharing history. 
     
    Hopefully this answers your question & please do let me know on this discussion in case you have more sharing-specific questions or you need any further assistance in any way. Thanks & enjoy the rest of your day!

      Unfortunately, there's no Events option for the folder.

        Thanks for looping back to me so quickly fireglory! Do you see the two-people icon on the folder (i.e. it should be similar to the one displayed on the screenshot I’m attaching below) incidentally?

        What are the options you’re seeing on your end? Have you also checked how you get on with Rich's advice? What do you see when you click on the Share button?
