& for how long are files active? Recommend other playlist sites that are not spotify nor amazon? Im trying to get something like dropbox or bandcamp to work since not many work as playlists in background or the sort of .html profiles. Advice would be great to know about, also liked the past styles of Grooveshark.com & Playlist.com

Hey Mx07z, welcome to our Community!
It's possible that you're experiencing this behavior on your account.
Have you recently shared and files or links that could be a breach of the Terms of Service? Did you receive any relevant emails from Dropbox, on how to proceed?
Keep me posted, and we'll take it from there!

Hi @Megan,
I'm getting the same behavior "We’ve interrupted your sharing activity because your files might contain phishing/spam content”. The only suggestion on the banned-links page you referenced (https://help.dropbox.com/share/banned-links) says "If you’re seeing this message, contact Dropbox support." Unfortunately, that page doesn't give any options for Basic users.
I too have received no email from Dropbox suggesting which files might be triggering this alert. If I had some idea of where to look, I'd be happy to investigate further.

I backed up files & uploaded just 1 now.I didnt get any email stating the error. It happens when 'copying link', I still get the same error & dont see the reason why. Can the error message be sent away?
