It says I need to request access to a folder although the correct email address has been invited
Hi! I'm trying to download some photos and when I click on their link it tells me to request access. It says that 'email' was given access but I'm signed in as 'email'. But they're both the exact same email?

Hey Spittee, thanks for joining us on the Dropbox Community!
Is it possible that the owner of the folder has made a typo in the email address they shared the folder with?
It could be a letter or even a dot or a space.
Can you check with them, to make sure they shared the folder with the correct address?
Thanks.
