I can't share any file, getting "banned member" error
Last few days cannot share files, keep getting message "banned member". Why is that? I don't have large traffic, antivirus doesn't see any malware, don't send invites at all, files are my so no copyr...
- It is working now, thanks! But still don't know what triggered ban to avoid similar situations in future.

Dropbox StaffIs this the first time you get this kind of error or you had one in the past as well mikrostil?
Yes, had that problem before, maybe 2 or 3 times in last few years and one of them was recently. But this error only lasted for short period, maybe a day or so and "repaired" by itself. I noticed exact time when this error occurred this time. I had folder with diverse printer drivers i use, shared it and start downloading on another pc but noticed it is too slow. Zip file was 1gb so i abort downloading in a minute (stick was faster). After that i can't share any other link. Also i deleted printer drivers from my dropbox but it didn't help.

Hey mikrostil, the more times your links get banned, the longer the ban lasts; you'll need to keep that in mind when sharing, unfortunately.
Does the issue persist now as well?
