Of course, Jay.

 

Any help would be much appreciated. Thank you for taking the time to look into this.

 

It seems that i have (gradually) lost persmission to create links to my files. It was working for some files yesterday, but it stopped working completely today. All I get is a message that I don't have permission to create a link to this content.

I deleted all existing links and checked my files for viruses, but the problem persists.

 

Have a Happy New Year and thank you, once again, for your help.

    Hi all, I'm experiencing the same problem. I can't create any links to the files in my DropBox folder.

    I'd appreciate any help resolving this.

     

    Thanks,

      Hey dgound, thanks for the nudge here.

       

      This could be due to a temporary ban on your sharing.

       

      Are you still having this issue?

        Hi Hannah,

         

        thanks for reaching out. The issue has been resolved, it seems that my links were temporarily banned for high traffic.

        I'm a bit surprised though that this happened because we create and share a large amount of links with colleagues and we never had this issue before.

        I guess it must've been an outlier.

         

        Anyway, problem solved, thanks!
