I tried to create & share a file but the program keeps signing me into a shared file from years ago.

I recently tried to create & share a file but the program keeps signing me into a shared file I was a part of from several years ago. How do I now create a new Folder/file/account so I can share what I wish to now?

    Hi there DW123 - sorry to hear you're having issues with this.

     

    As I'm not quite sure about the problem you're facing, could you share some additional information or a screenshot of what's troubling you so that we can assist further?

     

    Thanks!

      When I sign in, it takes me to the home page created by a relative several years ago. Now I wish to upload some files and share them with a attorney. 

      A: I am able to upload to that page but not share it.

      B: If I try to create my own page, it just signs me in to that old page my relative created and am not able to share it with my attorney.

       

      Ideas?

        DW123, do you mean that you’re being signed into another user’s Dropbox account perhaps? 

         

        If not, can you upload a screenshot of what you see exactly, when trying to share your file? To do so, please click on the small camera icon above your message box on the forum.
