No Longer Able to Create Shared Links
This afternoon, I was in Windows Explorer and tried as I have many times before to create a link to share a file. However, the option to create a link was no longer available. After restarting my com...
Me too - I just tried to share a file and was told I did not have permission to do this!!! I am the only owner of my dropbox - it's me!
I did as suggested below and took it out of my back ups and uploaded it into my drop box account through the browser. But still no.
How ridiculous. This is the very thing that made Dropbox great.
We should be able to share a file if necessary
So said file has just gone via wetransfer and I can no longer see why I should be paying big bucks for just a back up service.
very cheesed off.

Hi judybirkenhead, if you're not able to share from your normal Dropbox folder, then you might be experiencing this behavior.
You you clarify the exact error message you're getting? Is this for creating new shared links, or even accessing your previous shared links online?
My annual subscription expires soon, and I will not be renewing, as I have transitioned to OneDrive. While it is not ideal, between not being able to name your devices - instead, you get PC, PC (2), PC (3), etc. - and being unable to share links except through a shared folder, Dropbox does not meets my needs.
Hopefully you have a month-to-month subscription and didn't sign up for a year like I did.
