Why can't I share a link to a file I uploaded from Google Drive?

I uploaded a file from Google Drive. Why can't I create a share link? Do I need to upgrade for this feature? It tells me I don't have permissions. It let's me create a link for whole Google drive uploads, but not for a single file.

    Hey gaglianocarissam, thanks for joining us on the Dropbox Community!

     

    Would you mind sending us a screenshot of this error message?

     

    Also, how did you upload this file in the first place?

     

    If you can give me some more info on the process you followed, that would be really helpful.

     

    Thanks in advance!
