    Hi Megan,

    I am having the exact same issue today.
    I follow the email verification steps multiple times and on different laptops but I still get this error when trying to share files
    "You can’t share until you verify your email address"

        Hi Megan,

        I am having the exact same issue today.
        I follow the email verification steps multiple times but I still get this error when trying to share files:  "You can’t share until you verify your email address".
