"We’ve suspended your sharing activity" error

"We’ve suspended your sharing activity" error

Hi,

Recently I stopped being able to join shared folders and when I share I folder myself I get this error: "Can't share file. We’ve suspended your sharing activity because of a violation of Dropbox’s Terms of Service and Acceptable Use Policy, and Terms of Service or Services Agreement.". I've been using this Dropbox account rightfully for about 15 years, is there any way I can fix this problem?

Thank you.

Can’t share file or folders and getting the below message:
We’ve suspended your sharing activity because of a violation of Dropbox’s Terms of Service and Acceptable Use Policy, and Terms of Service or Services Agreement.

How can I do ?

Hey @morgannadera, thanks for joining our Community!
 

It sounds like your shared links might have been banned. How long have you been getting this error?

 

Did you get an email from Dropbox informing you about this perhaps?

 

Let us know more and we'll take it from there.

Hello Megan,

My acount might have been banned. But I don't remember getting an email from Dropox.

It's been few weeks that I have been getting this error.

What can I do ?

Thank you.
