A couple of my users get 404 errors when trying to open documents that are shared to them. Likewise, at least one of those users, when trying to share documents, gets a message saying "We’ve interrupted your sharing activity because your files might contain phishing content." -- this happens even on a completely empty folder.

If the user that gets the 404 error tries to open a share link in an incognito/private mode browser, the document opens (but since they're not logged in, they can't edit it, which is critical. This happens across multiple browsers, just for certain of my users. 

Please advise.

    It sounds like your sharing has been disabled - I'd suggest contacting support at www.dropbox.com/support and ask for help
