Not able to share a folder?
I am not able to share a folder but am only able to copy it and I don't understand why. Any suggestions out there?
Not getting an error message but I am only able to copy the folder and not share it. I don't believe it is in an already shared folder but I will double check that tomorrow when I go back to work. The only thing that I have done at this point is to create the dropbox folder and I placed some files in it. I intend to share with my personal account so that we have files both at home and at work. I created a work account so that no personal files are shared with the business account.

Dropbox Community ModeratorThanks for the update, dumbquestion.
When you get a chance, can you send us a screenshot of what you see when you try to share the folder?
Just make sure to hide any personal info on the screenshot.
sorry for the delay. i responded to your replay via email and the message was kicked back. Here is a screenshot of what I see when trying to share that folder. Other folders, I was simply able to share with Dropbox. Thank you for your help.

Out of interest dumbquestion what IS the folder?
If its a Dropbox created one (Vault, Camera Upload, File Requests) it isnt possible to share it
- I believe it is just simply a folder on our computer for a check writing program. Have used dropbox for many years and this is the first time I have encountered this issue. I’m sure it is something that I am doing wrong, but I cannot figure it out.
