How to Leave a Shared Folder
I'm relatively new to DropBox, and I'm using DropBox Basic, with no interest in upgrading to Pro at this time. A client has shared a folder with me that includes many subfolders, and I have just rea...
Here you go. Should work. I just did it myself and I didn't own the folder. It worked perfectly.
1. Hit Sharing button
2. You will get a list of folders that are shared with you. Click on the share box beside the one you want to get rid of.
3. You can't manage the folder but you will notice a box that states that you can edit this folder. Click on 'Can edit'.
4. Now you will notice 'Remove my access' in red. Click on it.
5. You will be asked if you want to keep a copy of the folder. I declined and the folder was deleted from dropbox.
Hope this helps.

Super User IIIdeally I'd like to remove my access to subfolders, not the main folder.
That's not possible. You either have access to the entire share and all of it's content, or you can leave the share and lose access to it all. If you just don't want the sub-folders to sync, you can use Selective Sync to remove them from your local computer, but they will still be in your account.
