My Dropbox account's sharing activity has been paused and I don't know why.

My sharing ability has been paused and I am trying to figure out why, as we have a meeting and I need to share our documents.

Hey sfenech, thanks for your post.

In general, your Dropbox account’s sharing activity can be paused indeed due to one of the reasons mentioned here.

After looking into our system though, I can see that you’ve already contacted our support team about this, so they’ll further assist you. I’ve also left them an internal note for you in the meantime. 

If you need something else, I’ll be right here.

This is VERY urgent as we have a meeting and everything for this meeting is in the Dropbox link that has been shared. 

Is there a limit to  with how many people we can share a Dropbox link with?

    If the link was shared with a lot of people and they downloaded it multiple times, this could affect your daily bandwidth.
