"You have not joined this folder" on folders that I own

Hi. Some of my own shared folders read "You have not joined this folder" when I am the owner. Anybody any idea why this? Thank you.

Hi anazacco, thanks for bringing this to our attention.

 

Did you delete the shared folder when viewing your list of folders?

 

You should be able to add the folder back to your account from this page.

 

Keep me updated with any progress!

Hi and thanks a lot.

The "this page" link leads me to my own shared folders site!

(No te has unido a esta carpeta = You have not joined this folder... and, again, I am the folder's owner and admin...)

    Are you able to rejoin your shared folder from that page?

     

    Just so you're aware, it is possible to be the owner of a shared folder and to not have it added to your account, which would take up quota to do so.

      Yes, I can rejoin. But I do not understand what it means that I have not added it to my account. All folders have been added from my account...

        Basically, you can create a shared folder, invite other users to it if need be, and at some point you temporarily removed it from your account, even though you still own it.
