Hi NS2022, most likely it's due to the files being in a Team folder. Do you know if the team admin has enabled sharing from the Dropbox Business team?

Hey Jay I actually manage this account for a client and have access to the admin console. I've gone through the Team Folder permissions pretty thoroughly but no restrictions on sharing outside of the organization seem to be in place. It's always possible I've missed something, but nothing stood out as being misconfigured even on the 3rd Party Integrations Permissions.

 

Nothing is restricted as far as I can tell.

    Thanks for the info, I'd recommend getting in contact with the support team directly for further assistance.

      Thanks Jay,

       

      They informed me there is no fix for the issue and the response seemed to imply there is no intention of Devs taking this up. I feel like Microsoft didn't have to push me to SharePoint, all they had to do was wait for Dropbox to abandon their business product.
