Hey Chad B.2, thanks for reaching out and sorry to see you're having trouble. 

 

Firstly, can you let me know if you're trying to share a link to a folder or to a file?

 

If it's to a folder, are you the owner or a 'can edit' member of the folder?

 

And are you seeing this behavior with all your folders/files, or just specific ones?

 

Keep me posted and we'll go from there.

    Trying to share a folder inside a folder that is shared with someone else.  I am the owner and can edit.  I have experienced this issue before in another situation.

      Can you check your plan page right here, and let me know the type of plan you're currently using?
