cannot create shared link to a folder
Hello I just uploaded a folder of files to my Dropbox that I want to share. Problem is that when I got to that folder (and yes it has sync'ed so all is well there), and I click on Sharing. It gives me the option to "Create Link", but when I click on "Create Link" it does nothing. No link or anything. I tried it both Firefox and IE, and it still did it. And I have the lastest versions of both browsers with up-to-date patches.

- At that point, I’d suggest disabling any Security/Antivirus programs & give our offline installer a try:

Hi ry1633,
Can you please try in incognito mode as well? Does this occur with all files or with a specific one?
There might be an add-on that interferes, so trying in incognito and clearing your cache might help.
Can you please let me know, since it might need to be a specific case, that has to be looked into via email.
Thanks,
JaneA
what is incognito mode and how do I use it? Never used that in Dropbox before.
never mind. I tried it in Private Mode in Firefox after clearing my cache and it still didn't work. Also disabled all add-ons and that also did not fix my problem.
Hi Dropbox
I use your 'create a shared link' about 20 times a day. Now when i right clik on my desktop app it doesnt give me that option.
Can you explain?
