I get the message that my files might contain phishing content
I am trying to share a file and get the message "We’ve interrupted your sharing activity because your files might contain phishing content"
Relevant Facts:
1) File does not contain phishing content.
2) I haven't used dropbox for about a year, so I'm not over any limits.
3) File is legal content, legally obtained.
4) File is 22 MB.
No customer support except for paid subscriptions.
So I guess this is why I don't use dropbox.....

Hi
I am trying to share some personal files (powerpoint files I created and I know the content is clean) but DropBox thinks it's a phishing scam.
How do I stop DB from false flag on my files?

DropBox PAID subscriber since 2010 (maybe earlier). Trying to share a folder and getting message: "We’ve interrupted your sharing activity because your files might contain phishing content." Note: There is NOTHING in the folder yet and the addresses of the two recipients are legitimate account DB holders. WTH?
Please fix this. - StevenEsqTwo3 years agoNew member | Level 2
Same here. The attempted shared folder is empty. Paid DB subscriber since 2010. VERY frustrating.

I receive the following message when trying to share folders. It even occurs with new folders that have no content!

Was your issue resolved? I'm experiencing the same issue and as yet have not been able to resolve it.

Does this mean I've had my account locked (banned) from sharing? if so, how do Iget it unlocked?
