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'm on a free account. I just uploaded some files to a new folder. I have nothing else in my dropbox except for the 4 files i just added. Now I'm trying to share that folder with one other person but get a message stating that "You've hit the limit of the number of invites you can send per day. Try again in 24hrs. " I tried again in 24hrs and get the same message. I've never invited anyone to anything in dropbox. This is the first time I've attempted to share a folder. So how could I have used up my limit of invites? It also tells me that I don't have permission to create a link. It's my account. How could I not have permission?

They finally fixed my issue. They had my account blocked for some reason and I had to message them on their facebook page to open a ticket.
I have a dumb question. I have a free Dropbox account. I love using it. I am sharing a folder with different people. Can a person see who else I am sharing the folder with? Is there a limit to how many people I can share with?

Hi Hannah,
I am using the Dropbox app installed on my Macbook. I right click the folder to share and then add email of the recipient and setup for viewing only. Not editing permission. Basically I am trying to share my house remodel plans with some contractors. The file size is bigger than what can be attached to an email.
Regards

Got it, Walter. Although the app has this option in settings which I had set to off. Anyway, I will use the link instead. Thanks
Hi. I have a paid Dropbox Plus plan and now randomly I've been getting the message -
I've been trying to both send a link and share with an email address, in the desktop app, on the mobile app, and in the web app, and in all cases I get the same error. When I can generate a link and send it, the recipient gets a 404 error when opening the page. I've been using DB for many years now but this is really messing up my project deadlines.
