To remove access for a shared file or folder, the owner of the shared file or folder can either remove the members or unshare the file or folder.
※ Note: If a member has already downloaded the shared file or folder to device or saved it to their own drive, removing the member or unsharing the file or folder will not delete the copies of the files that exist with that member.
