Thank you for the information.
I have directly asked previously and did not receive a direct answer. The answer I received was a generic response similar to "might contain phishing content" and to scan the files prior to sharing.
-The files are only shared with a handful of other people via links and I doubt more than 10 people look at them.
-The files do not contain malware to the best of my knowledge as I scan using Windows Defender.
-The files are typically only around 20 MB in size and are PDFs that have been shared with me from other file sharing means.
I may be making a mistake of some kind, but I have read through several community posts & Drop box help pages and I do not believe the issue is on my end.

2 years agoI see where you're coming from FrequentUser.
However, in order for me to be able to share more, I'd need to have some account-specific info on my end, in order to determine what might have caused it.
Thus why I believe it's best to ask our Support about this. I'm also going to be leaving an internal comment to your Support ticket, in order to ask the user working on your case to share some additional info with you.
