Suddenly unable to share any files

When I try to share any file I get an error "We've interrupted your sharing activity. For details or to contact support read our help center article".

I read the article and I can't find any files that could violate the terms. I don't understand what is the reason for the blocking.

I created a simple test .txt file with the word test in it and I can't share it.

This happens on both the desktop app and the web app.

I've been able to share/transfer files in the past without any problems (last time was probably a couple of months ago).

    Hi dktwp​, thanks for providing these details.

    Did you receive any email from Dropbox regarding the pausing of your shared links?

    This will help me to assist further!

    No, I didn't receive any email. I searched my email and the last successful transfer created was on 10/31/25, and between then and today, there are no other emails from Dropbox referencing sharing or pausing of shared links.

    But my colleague is able to share a file just fine. And when I get that file and add to my Dropbox and try to share the same file, I get the error in sharing.

    Thanks for the info. I was going to contact you via email, but I can see that you're already in contact with a support agent. 

    They should be able to assist you from there on regarding this matter.
