I have a question about the sharing approvals. Can you help?
I have been a Dropbox user for many years and have shared folders many times during that period. It used to be that when I shared a folder the recipient would recieve an email, click on the link and...

But they received the message:
"You don't have access
You can ask the person who shared the link to invite you directly. Just so you know, you're signed in as ........(email address)"
Does this mean they have a Dropbox account? The email address on the error message was different from the one I emailed the invite to.
many thanks.

Dropbox Community ModeratorHey, Gradvlax, thank you for the details!
Can I ask the precise steps you used in order to invite them to the folder, please?
Keep in mind, if you wish to invite someone to be part of a folder, you can follow these steps, but they'd need a Dropbox account.
If you wish, you can share a link using these steps.
Can you confirm which one you did?
