Hi,

I have the same problem.

No matter what I do I get "We’ve interrupted your sharing activity because your files might contain phishing content."

I even tried to delete all the content that I have on Dropbox and still I get the same error.

Please help 😞

    Hello Nancy, I have the same problem. When I try to create a link to share any of my files on dropbox, I get the error message "We’ve interrupted your sharing activity because your files might contain phishing content." — can you assist me with this?

     

    Thank you in advance.

    Andrea
