this folder can only be shared as a link - why?

I'm trying to share a folder when I get a "this folder can only be shared as a link" message. Why?

Hey everyone!

There have been some recent changes and you can now share a subfolder inside an already shared folder.

However, there are some rules to keep in mind, when trying to do this. You can read more about that in our Help Center article here.

I hope this helps!
