Create, upload, and share
Find help to solve issues with creating, uploading, and sharing files and folders in Dropbox. Get support and advice from the Dropbox Community.
I'm trying to share access of a folder to a specific domain. Tried from different accounts (Business and Personal) and different folders having the same result. I looked through all settings trying to find any option causing the issue but didn't find anything that helps.
Hi @dsanchezj93, is it possible that this user is on a Dropbox Business team? There is an option for team admins to prevent external shared folders from being added to their accounts.

Welcome to the Community, @dsanchezj93! I hope you’re doing well.
Can you please clarify if you’re the owner of this shared folder? Is it possible to go to the folder settings (from the gear icon showing on your screenshot) and send me one more screenshot of what you see there?
Let me know when you have more updates.

Nancy,
I'm the owner of the folder, here's a screenshot of the settings. However, I notice the specific issue is with a particular email domain that it can't be shared any other domain I tried was successful.

Thanks for this information. I have confirmed the domain I'm trying to share access is under a Dropbox Business Account and has restricted external shared folders.
No worries, glad to have helped out! If you need any further assistance in the future, please let me know.
Enjoy the rest of your week!
