I can't share one of my folders with edit rights

I'm having an issue with sharing folders. I am the owner of this folder [removed per Community Guidelines] and would like to share it with editing rights, but it doesn't work. How can I fix it?

Hey uBear team, would you mind sending us a screenshot of what you see when you try to share this subfolder?

hi Hannah please check these. So I have one core folder Databank, created by me, there are 7 folders in it, 3 of them I have already shared with no problems, as they have the option to share with editing permission. but I still need to share uBear the same way, but it won't show me the editing options.

    Hi uBear team, if you click the Settings link in the last image, what options do you see there?

        Are you already sharing a subfolder in that folder?
