Thanks, Mark. I frequently check the status of my ticket on zendesk. I hope they get to me soon! Cheers.

Interestingly, I just now heard back from Support. They have lifted my ban. I wonder who I have to thank for this "coincidence"? 😉

Banned from sharing public links!

I use my dropbox account to store my important stuff.. there are some files that i want to share (for example, a rar file named 'الاختراع' which contains 3 videos) but i can't because my public links are banned .. they are banned from a long time.

A first-time suspension for a bandwidth overage is 24-72 hours and will be lifted automatically. Each subsequent suspension lasts longer. If you're a Basic user, upgrading to Plus will also clear a bandwidth related suspension (because it increases your limit from 20GB/day to 200GB/day).

There are other reasons suspensions occur as well, and due to privacy concerns, the message will always say that it's bandwidth related. The file could have been reported as part of a DMCA request, it could contain a virus or malware, etc. There are many other reasons.

 

More info in this Help Center article: https://help.dropbox.com/share/banned-links 

 

In these cases, the suspensions are not lifted automatically and you need to contact Support.

Track your ticket here: https://dropbox.zendesk.com


Replies take approximately 1 - 3 business days with Plus users getting priority (longer for Basic users).
