Hi
Two of my folders have a racket icon and when I try to share them with friends, I receive this error : "This package file can only be shared as a link."
There is no shared folder within these folders.
Please help me.
Thanks
Hi Walter
They are folder, created in Windows, not Mac package files.
But I found the problem is there are two dots in folder name, like my.folder.name, this made DropBox suppose folder as package!
I renamed folder to my_folder_name and now it's fixed.
Thanks.
Hi there @avebrahimi - sorry to hear you're having issues with this.
Could you clarify if these two are indeed folders or package files instead?
Thanks!
