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.

The only way is by link, I do everything on a phone because I don't have a computer.

It's been a year anyway

I see, thanks for clarifying that for us @Hendrik Tibboel  - you could try requesting the desktop version of the website through your browser to bring up the button to attach the screenshot if you like. 

 

That said, since it's been a while since you first got this error, would it be OK if we sent you an email to look further into this issue internally?

Hi @Hendrik Tibboel , do you still have issues with this? 

 

If so, then I'm afraid you'd need to contact your email provider, and let them know more.
