'You don't have permission to share with some of these people' error when trying to share folder
I am trying to share a folder and the message I keep getting "You don't have permission to share with some of these people due to restrictions on their end.

Thanks for bringing this to our attention, bianchiniv.
Would you mind sending us a screenshot of that error, so we can have a visual of the issue?
Can you also let us know if you're the owner of the folder or a member with edit permissions?
And are you trying to share it by inviting these people's email addresses?
Thanks.

Yes, I am the owner of the folder. Below is the screenshot. Thank you

This sounds like attempting to share with a user on a team where the team admin has disabled "Adding outside folders" setting. https://help.dropbox.com/share/manage-team-sharing#Folders-shared-with-the-team
If that's the case, some workarounds are to share the folder with view permissions or create a shared link.

I am the owner of this folder. I am trying to share it with a colleague, his email address is [email removed as per Community Guidelines]

Hey bianchiniv!
Would you mind checking in with your colleague, and asking them if they're part of a Team as CaraDBX suggested?
