- pwrpufgirlz3 years agoNew member | Level 2For being account specific this sure seems to happen a lot based on my searching. Can someone email me to help me with this as well because it's been happening to me for months.

They finally fixed my issue. They had my account blocked for some reason and I had to message them on their facebook page to open a ticket.

I have a dumb question. I have a free Dropbox account. I love using it. I am sharing a folder with different people. Can a person see who else I am sharing the folder with? Is there a limit to how many people I can share with?
- Hannah3 years agoDropbox StaffHey gidmo, thanks for your comment here.
When it comes to inviting people to a folder to give them edit access, there's no specific limit to how many you can invite.
But would you mind clarifying how you're sharing this folder?
Did you invite these people using their email addresses (edit access)? Or are you sharing the folder through a link (view access)?- gidmo3 years agoExplorer | Level 4
Hi Hannah,
I am using the Dropbox app installed on my Macbook. I right click the folder to share and then add email of the recipient and setup for viewing only. Not editing permission. Basically I am trying to share my house remodel plans with some contractors. The file size is bigger than what can be attached to an email.
Regards

I'm having the same issue and it's been happening for years. I can't share anything. I could not find a way to open a ticket anywhere on the web portal, to get someone to unblock it for me. It should be automatically clearing itself up, even if after a long time maybe a month, but it's just blocked indefinitely. Please help.

Hi dag909, thanks for posting here today!
I'd need some account specific info on my end, in order to assist with that. Can I send you an email, in order for us to have a closer look into this?
Let me know more!

Yes, please email me anytime. I would be very happy if you are able to help with this problem. I'm sure it's just some sort of checkbox on the back end, preventing me from sharing.
