"check your internet connection and try again" When trying to share a file?
Trying to share a file, but when I enter some email addresses I get the following messages ""check your internet connection and try again". Other email addresses works 100%. Working on a Macbook Pro...

Same issue here. When I use the phone up app, I have no problem. It appears to be just on the desktop. Also it seems like I can share with emails in my address book but outside emails I cannot.

I have the same issue when on the desktop, "check your internet connection and try again".
When I go to the web version it simply tells me the person is not part of my dropbox team. I have never had an issue in the past trying to share files with someone outside of my dropbox team.
Please fix this.

I am having the same issue. Message when I try to share a folder: "check your internet connection and try again".
I'm using Dropbox on a PC with Windows 10. To try to fix things I deleted Dropbox, then downloaded and reinstalled it. I was able to share folders around two weeks ago, now I can't share with anyone, including myself. Internet connection when tested is working just fine.
