Could not add a shared folder to Dropbox
My daughter sent me an invitation to add and edit a folder that she created in her Dropbox account. When I try to accept the invitation, I receive an error message that says "Could not add to Dropbox...
Jay, I didn't have or want to put another browser on my phone.
I asked my daughter to send a web link and the link worked, on my phone, using the same Google Chrome browser. Interestingly, the web link opened a page in the browser that looked nearly identical to the one linked to the invitation. The invitation sent thru DropBox, which comes as an email with a button to join the folder, did not work and was the one that generated the error.
Given that the web link worked and got me onto the folder as a member, does this info give you any idea why the invitation did not work?
Thank you,
Mike
Hi there
I had the exact same issue - for the same error message when trying to add the folder from my gmail on my phone. Also when using my tablet. I had to copy the url and paste it into my Samsung Internet and get into my account that way. Then it would load and it now shows on my phone app.
Whilst I also found a work around, probably helpful for you to know others are having the same issue.
Cheers
