Unable to upload into shared folder even though plenty of space

Unable to upload into shared folder even though plenty of space

I went on a horse trek and the organser sent me a link to a shared dropbox with a folder assigned to each of the 9 trekkers to upload images. I can enter this dropbox and view and download other people's images. However, I can't upload mine. I have tried:

- dragging and dropping image from my personal PC general folder

- dragging and dropping image from my dropbox folder /app on my PC

 - sharing the image ( just testing one) directly from my personal dropbox

- Apart from that one image I have nothing in my personal Dropbox

 

 

Thank you for any help

You've not said why you cannot share with him - what is happening? What is the error etc.?

Do YOU have plenty of space? You're not uploading to the other person's account.

 

If you're a member of a shared folder you have your own copy of the share in your account, taking up space, and you need enough available space in your account to hold everything in the share, including what you upload.
