    Hi dsanchezj93, is it possible that this user is on a Dropbox Business team? There is an option for team admins to prevent external shared folders from being added to their accounts.

Welcome to the Community, dsanchezj93! I hope you’re doing well. 

 

Can you please clarify if you’re the owner of this shared folder? Is it possible to go to the folder settings (from the gear icon showing on your screenshot) and send me one more screenshot of what you see there? 

 

Let me know when you have more updates.

Nancy,

      @Jay

       

      Thanks for this information. I have confirmed the domain I'm trying to share access is under a Dropbox Business Account and has restricted external shared folders.
