Create, upload, and share
Find help to solve issues with creating, uploading, and sharing files and folders in Dropbox. Get support and advice from the Dropbox Community.
I am trying to share a file and get the message "We’ve interrupted your sharing activity because your files might contain phishing content"
Relevant Facts:
1) File does not contain phishing content.
2) I haven't used dropbox for about a year, so I'm not over any limits.
3) File is legal content, legally obtained.
4) File is 22 MB.
No customer support except for paid subscriptions.
So I guess this is why I don't use dropbox.....
I receive the same following message when trying to share folders. It even occurs with new folders that have no content!
Does this mean I've had my account locked (banned) from sharing? if so, how do Iget it unlocked?
Can’t share file
We’ve interrupted your sharing activity because your files might contain phishing content.
Hi @JamesPren, let's see what we can find together on this!
Based on the error you received, it sounds like your sharing ability might have been temporarily suspended. You can find out more info at this Help Center article.
Have you recently shared a link which could have been downloaded many times, or to a large file?
This will help me to assist further!

Hi, can anyone help us? The manager of the account is getting an error when he sends a Dropbox link video (Dropbox issue with sharing folders - phishing cont.). The recipient of the link will get an error message (That didn't work for some reason). We already sent an email and a ticket has been created but we are not getting any response or help form the support team.
Hi there!
