I recently converted some folders into spaces and integrated a few apps. However, I am unable to pin Slack to the space, set up a to-do list in a space, or share a document to Slack from within a space in the Dropbox Desktop app (I followed these instructions https://help.dropbox.com/installs-integrations/third-party/slack and got a "There was a problem completing this request". The Sept. 25 video promised a lot, but I'm having trouble getting my space to have all the functionality as seen in the promotional video.
Thanks for following up Lusil, I tested sharing exactly as I'd done it before, and it worked.
This is working now: share an item from dropbox desktop to slack using thse instructions https://help.dropbox.com/installs-integrations/third-party/slack
Thanks again,

Hi Lusill,
I'm trying 2 things. #2 is solved, but #1 is not.
1. to share an item from dropbox desktop to slack using thse instructions https://help.dropbox.com/installs-integrations/third-party/slack
1a. the failure message shows up after step 3 of the desktop instructions.
2. In the September 25 launch video, a video shows how to Share a comment in Dropbox to Slack. I thought the comments column was actually Slack pinned or embedded in Dropbox, but that is not the case. This is solved, as I was able to share a comment in slack - image below is from the Sep 25 Work in Progress Keynote https://blog.dropbox.com/topics/company/work-in-progress-keynote-livestream
Thanks for clarifying that for me, @anncla3000.
Out of curiousity, are you able to share the file to Slack from your Dropbox desktop app by previewing it first?
Let me know how it goes!
