    Hi there, as you discovered, there is a limit of individual shared link recipients and shared folder invitations per day for Dropbox Basic, Dropbox Professional trial, and Dropbox Business trial accounts.

Dropbox keeps beating around the bush on this one so I am going to ask the question again, what is the exact number of invitations one  can send out in a 24 hour period    ???   Dropbox has repeatedly been asked this question but never answered it with the limit number.
