Well, it wasn't a one-time situation because it happened a few days ago, which started this question. Then I created a new folder yesterday and had the same problem. 

However, I just tried adding a new folder again now, and it allows me to share it.  Between yesterday and today I closed Dropbox, and logged out of my computer completely, so Dropbox restarted when I restarted my computer ... so perhaps that fixed the problem.  

At least now I know what to do if it happens again. Thanks again for the advice. Greatly appreciated !!
