Share approval not working
I am having an issue with approving requests to share folders. 1. At our business (a photolab) we share folders of images of processed films with the customer who brought the film in for processing....

It makes no difference (Firefox, Brave, Chrome or Edge). Excatly the same dialog box pops up.
I now also have another problem. Dropbox is continually spamming us with pop-ups offering to upgrade. One of them popped up in front of the dialog box I was expecting, just as I was about to click it. I have now bloody well upgraded to Dropbox Essentials without meaning to. Is there any way to STOP these annoying spam popups?

I have at least made one step forward.
If I click the cross on the right hand end of the email address in the "Share by email" input box in the dialog box screenshot I posted earlier, then I can retype the email address into the same input box, and the dialog box changes to look like this...
I can then click the "Send" box and it shares fine.
Going back the original dialog box I posted earlier, when I hover the mouse pointer over the email address in the "Share by email" input box, the pointer turns into a hand, which makes me think this is supposed to be a clickable link, but when I click it. nothing happens. Right clicking it reveals no useful options.
