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.

Hey Angelines, since you didn't receive the original email, let's try something different.
Have you tried to contact Dropbox Support directly for this?
You can visit the Support page while you're not signed in to a Dropbox account, including these forums, and you'll see an option for sign-in issues, then choose "Other". It's best to use an Incognito or Private browsing session to make sure you're not signed in.
Once you do, feel free to send me the ticket number reference, in order for me to locate it on my end.
Let me know more!

Sorry to see that you didn't receive my email, Angelines.
Thanks, however, for the ticket number.
It's been passed along to the appropriate team, so you'll be getting a response the soonest possible.
Have a great weekend!

Hey Robin2025 - thanks for bringing this to our attention.
Would it be OK if we sent you an email to have a further look internally?

Hi Dropbox,

Hey McnieceJ - sorry to hear about this.
When you say one of your staff, are you all part of the same Dropbox team account on which you're the team admin or are you using individual accounts instead?
Did they try contacting us from their end directly by any chance?
