"Sharing could not be completed"; I can't share any files anymore.

When trying to share folders and files (as I have been doing for years) I get all of a sudden this error message:

Sharing could not be completed
We have stopped sharing your files.

Any help. please?

    Hi there fjf - sorry to hear about this. 

    Can you please clarify how long have you been seeing this error and if this has happened in the past again? Did you receive an email from Dropbox informing you about it? 

    Let me know and we'll take it from there.

    Since yesterday (24h), no emails from dropbox.  Never happened before, and I have been sharing files (I am a teacher, and share files with my students) for many years.

    It was solved, and now I am again blocked from sharing.  Can you help me, please?

    Hey fjf, do you get the same error again?

    If yes, how long has this been happening for?

    Today, same error in a different computer (at work).  Right now (at home) seems to work fine.

    Thanks for the update here, fjf.

    Is your work computer linked to the same Dropbox account you have linked to your home computer?
