    It appears that I was trying to share to many folders in one day. I was able to share more today and I will try again tomorrow.

Hi awalde, I’m sorry to hear you’re having trouble with sharing folders! It sounds frustrating. Have you tried clearing your browser’s cache or using a different browser? Sometimes those simple steps can help resolve issues. Also, if the folder upgrade is still in progress, it might be worth waiting a bit longer before trying again. In the meantime, you might find some patience and inspiration in Surah Al Waqiah. Hope you find a solution soon!
