Hi tom4gail​​, thanks for bringing this to our attention.

It sounds possible that sharing was paused on your account, but let's see what we can find about this together.

Have you checked this article to see if any of the files you're trying to share, or have already shared breaches the Terms of Service? You can also take a look here for more info.

We're going to have to look into account-specific info here. For that, I just sent you an email in order for us to investigate further.

Reply back to me, and we'll take it from there. Thanks a bunch!
