This package file can only be shared as a link.

Hi

Two of my folders have a racket icon and when I try to share them with friends, I receive this error : "This package file can only be shared as a link."
There is no shared folder within these folders.
Please help me.

Thanks

 

  • Hi Walter 

    They are folder, created in Windows, not Mac package files.
    But I found the problem is there are two dots in folder name, like my.folder.name, this made DropBox suppose folder as package!
    I renamed folder to my_folder_name and now it's fixed.

    Thanks.
