I have exactly the same problem - it's infuriating. Thanks for explaining why it's happened I was completely gaslit by the support chat as though it was perfectly normal and I just hadn't understood what a back up folder was

Hi

 

I had exactly the same problem but it has been fixed (v154.4.5363 - OSX) and I can now share my files as used to using the 'Send a Copy' feature which has also had a couple of enhancements. I was very very frustrated that this was taken away but it seems to have been put back (and hopefully permanently) and I can use dropbox as I was before. I am very glad this was done.... (is it working for everyone else?)

 

best regards

 

Dan

    "Send a Copy" definitely doesn't fix the problem for me. I want people to retain access to the folder I share without having to send them a zip file they have to download every time a change is made.

      For me "Send a Copy" feature doesn't work at all because it has a limit of 2 GB.
