    Hi there Naif5 - sorry to hear you're having issues with this.

     

    Can you please let me know if you're referring to individual files that are shared with you or shared folders?

     

    Are you the owner of the files/folders by the way?

     

    What do you get when you click on the'Learn More' button?

     

    Let us know more and we'll take it from there.

    I see, thanks for the additional information Naif5 

     

    Do you happen to know if these shared folders are shared from a team account or an individual one?

     

    Also, what is your computer's exact OS and the version and status of the Dropbox desktop app as shown in your system tray?
