Why is my sharing interrupted on my account?

Hey there, not sure if this is the right place to ask regarding this, I recently received a message, stating:

"We’ve interrupted your sharing activity because you tried to share a file that may contain malware. Check your email for instructions on how to resolve this."

I never received any email regarding this, and the file in question has been removed.

Just wondering how I can go about removing this limitation.

Thank you.

    Interrupted file sharing on Dropbox, possibly due to a malware warning. The sharing feature is temporarily suspended for files flagged as potentially harmful. Users encountering this issue may see the problem resolve on its own, or should reach out to Dropbox support for assistance.
