Unable to generate link

For the last month every time I try to share any kind of file in my account I’m told “unable to generate link” and that I don’t have permission to create a link to the file. Audio, photos, text docs, it doesn’t matter. Everything I’m trying to share has been created by me so I know it’s not copyright-related. I’ve tried clearing caches, reuploading files, using the iOS app and using the desktop site across multiple devices and none have worked.

    Hi there, winnwgomez, I'm here for you! 

     

    I opened a ticket, since this might be a case for our Specialized agents to look at. 

     

    Reply back to me, and we'll take it from there. 

     

    Thanks a bunch!
