Hit accepted solution by mistake. Sorry.But generally a staff member will contact you in a day or two, collect some information, and then resolve the problem on the Dropbox side.

Hi
I am trying to share some personal files (powerpoint files I created and I know the content is clean) but DropBox thinks it's a phishing scam.
How do I stop DB from false flag on my files?

Same here. The attempted shared folder is empty. Paid DB subscriber since 2010. VERY frustrating.

I receive the following message when trying to share folders. It even occurs with new folders that have no content!

Does this mean I've had my account locked (banned) from sharing? if so, how do Iget it unlocked?

Hi JamesPren, let's see what we can find together on this!
Based on the error you received, it sounds like your sharing ability might have been temporarily suspended. You can find out more info at this Help Center article.
Have you recently shared a link which could have been downloaded many times, or to a large file?
This will help me to assist further!

Yes I've been provided with a link to a drop box with 7 x pdf files that require my signature. These have previously been uploaded / downloaded by a few poeple.
