I can't share any links - Dropbox says my files contain phishing content.
Dear Dropbox Support Team, I’ve received a notification stating: “We have suspended your activity. Your files may contain phishing elements.” I’m unsure why I received this message, and it’s severely impacting my Dropbox experience. It's not specific to any one file. I cannot get the link to share ANY of my files. I always get the same error message when I try to share via the web portal. When I use my PC based Dropbox, I don't get any messages, but I cannot copy and paste any links. I've already spoken with the chatbot and emailed support (over a week ago - ticket id: #26002781) and have not received a reply. Please provide further details so I can resolve this issue promptly. Thank you for your support.

My Mac desktop app shows sync issues due to permissions, but all settings are correct.
Device (Mac Sudio Operating System/Browser (if using the web) Mac OS 26.2 Tahoe Dropbox App Version (if using the app) 241.4.4853 Syncing Status (Upto date) Question or Issue I am getting sync issues for several files (see message) asking for "permissions," which all permissions in system settings are already given, so I am not sure what they are asking for or how to give it to them.
My sharing has been suspended due to phishing content, even though my files don't have any.
Dear Dropbox Support Team, I’ve received a notification stating: “We have suspended your activity. Your files may contain phishing elements.” I tried to solve with online support unsuccessufully. It’s severely impacting my Dropbox experience. I primarily use your service to synchronize files between family computers and to share files with family and friends. I can assure you that my files don’t contain phishing elements, and I make a conscious effort to keep my Dropbox space safe and clean. Please provide further details so I can resolve this issue promptly. Thank you for your support. Best regards.My macOS desktop app has been stuck syncing 10MB for 3 days.
Application Affected Dropbox Device MacBook Air Operating System/Browser (if using the web) OS 15.7.3 Dropbox App Version (if using the app) 238.4.6305 Question or Issue Three days ago I noticed an error message at the top of the finder window which was open to my Dropbox folder (stored in "locations"). The message said something to the effect that my Dropbox app couldn't be found. I thought that was strange, because Dropbox was open. So I quit the app and then reopened it, and that's when things really started getting strange. Now, day three, Dropbox is constantly in sync mode. The icon up in the task bar shows the circle of arrows, and when I click on it says syncing down at the bottom. But for most of the last two days there was no progress bar and no information about what was syncing. Now I'm getting "syncing [x number of files]." When I first looked this morning it was at 500+ 10 MB. Now it's down to 444 files, 9 MB. Progress! The thing is, I only use Dropbox for syncing one particular application, Scrivener. My entire storage on Dropbox is only 275 MB. It usually takes seconds to sync the updated files. The other strange thing is that on the activity monitor Dropbox never rises above 4% CPU. It's been going for more than 48 hours at a snail's pace to sync relatively tiny files. Possibly relevant, or just coincidental: about two weeks ago I cleared the data from the MacBook and reinstalled everything. After that, everything appeared to be in place and working just fine. This problem appeared after I returned from about 10 days travel over the holidays in which I was rarely on the computer. I've quit and reopened Dropbox multiples times. I've restarted the computer. None of it has helped.I'm trying to share a folder with others, but Dropbox says I've been banned.
Device Lenovo X1 Gen 6 Operating System/Browser (if using the web) Windows 11 Dropbox App Version (if using the app) 200.4.8609 Syncing Status Syncing but 1 file is unable to update I have tried to share a folder with 5 others but get "banned member" as a message. Is that them or me? I have tried sharing to some of them and get the same message. How to I resolve this?
I can't share files with non-members; they're being asked to sign up to Dropbox.
I need to share various files (spreadsheets) with non-members. It is just one file per customer and I only have 30 or so customers. I have tried using both the "share" option and the "copy Dropbox link". Neither works and my customers tell me that they are also being asked to sign up to dropbox rather than just letting them access the file. All I get is the really annoying response "That didn't work for some reason". I would send a snip showing that response - but as one might expect from dropbox, there doesn't appear to be an easy way to attach a file to this request. Please don't just tell me to switch to Microsoft OneDrive - I am aware from others that its functionality is much better but I would prefer not to have to migrate to there. Although it is quite unbelievable, considering how much we pay for Dropbox, that it is not capable of doing this easily.
I'm seeing a 403 error when trying to upload files from Google Drive to Dropbox.
