Re: Can't share files because of violation of Terms of Service error

Can't share files because of violation of Terms of Service error

Hi I have had dropbox on my computer for years now although I have not been using it for quite some time.

I recently tried to share a new folder and got the message:
"We’ve suspended your sharing activity because of a violation of Dropbox’s Terms of Service and Acceptable Use Policy, and Terms of Service or Services Agreement."

I have no idea which of the terms I may have violated or how to fix it.
The chatbot wasn't very helpful either.

Dropbox still works on my computer and I can see all my storage on the website but I'm just not able to share any files or folders.

I would appreciate any assistance in resolving this issue.

Good day. I am also facing this problem. Help me to solve it. I haven't broken any rules and haven't used Dropbox for a long time, but it shows me a message that I broke the rules.

Hey @Rezvan2000! Usually, banned links occur for one of these reasons

 

I can log a ticket for you though, to check this further.

Hi,

I am experiencing this issue as well. None of the reasons listed in that page would apply to me to my knowledge, though I don’t know how to check my bandwidth limit. Please email me directly about this.
