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.

Hello!

 

I'm experiencing this issue as well.  I made sure I deleted any files from my existing dropbox to make sure it wasn't a space limit issue.  Can you please help?

 

Thank you!

Hello!

I'm experiencing this issue as well. 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. Can you please help me to solve it?

Thank you!
