Banned from sharing

I've been banned from sharing links. What can I do?

So, I have been banned from sharing links from Dropbox for years, I never did get any understanding of why, I never got an email about it and just dug back through to see if I had gotten anything, but no such luck. It gives a message on the site that I did something against the ToS but I have absolutely no idea how or when. This has been years and I never share links enough for it to have mattered until recently now that I'm doing tabletop gaming. Is there anything at all I can do to get this ban removed at all, I don't even know when this started or why.

@jzurim, you’ll need to reply to Hannah’s email directly, so that she may further assist. From what I can see, there’s no response yet.

I have been banned from creating sharing links which is the main reason I use Dropbox. It states that you’ve interrupted my sharing activity as it files may contain phishing content but this isn’t the case.
