How can I copy and paste email addreses into Dropbox in order to share folders and files?

There was some correspondence on this subject in 2019 but it doesn't seem to work now.

    Hey trevor34smith, thanks for the screenshot! 

     

    You mentioned that when you right click, you can't paste the email there. Have you tried using the CTRL+V shortcut to paste the email there?

I was using Chrome when I encountered the problem.

 

I've now tried doing the same stuff using Firefox and it's a bit worse.  The menu that opens when I try to paste the email address into Dropbox has "paste" greyed out, so I can't do it at all.

 

Any more thoughts?

Hi trevor34smith, do you have any screenshots you can provide? Just make sure none of your personal info is shown there.

    Is this what you want by way of a Screenshot?

        That seems to have done it Megan.  Thank you.
