Suspended sharing activity because of a violation of Dropbox’s Terms of Service

Hello,

I've been having trouble sharing a file or folder for days I always get the message:

 

Can’t share file

We’ve suspended your sharing activity because of a violation of Dropbox’s Terms of Service and Acceptable Use Policy, and Terms of Service or Services Agreement.


I am not aware of any rule violations, no option from the link https://help.dropbox.com/share/banned-links applies to me. The Chatbot can't help, waiting 24 hours doesn't help either. i use this all day every day for work.

    Can’t share file or folders and getting the below message:
    We’ve suspended your sharing activity because of a violation of Dropbox’s Terms of Service and Acceptable Use Policy, and Terms of Service or Services Agreement.

    Neither chat or community subject can help.

    Cannot wait any longer as I use dropbox everyday at work.

     

    Thank you.

    Sorry to hear about this, Angelines.

     

    Can we send you an email, to look into this internally?

    Hey Angelines, have you checked the correct Dropbox account, along with your spam/junk folder? 

     

    I'm asking because I checked, and it seems Hannah indeed reached out using your Community-linked email address.
