Got hacked, then Dropbox banned me from sharing folders

[kenko]

My partner told me they couldn't upload any files to my shared folder yesterday.

Then I found out there some spam likely files were uploaded to the root folder that are not shared.

I checked my account was logged in with a Netherlands IP, so I believe I got hacked.

I think he used all of the sharing bandwidth, and Dropbox got the temperately disable rules triggered.

I changed my password and removed all the files he uploaded.

I waited about 24 hours and I still couldn’t share my folder.

The error message I got were:

"You don’t have permission to create a link to this folder"

"You’ve hit the limit of invites you can send per day. Try again in 24 hours."

Is there any fix on that?
