Cannot upload files on Slack

Since I recently upgraded to Dropbox for Business, I can no longer upload files on Slack. I have enabled the Dropbox integration on Slack a while ago. On the Slack desktop app, it recognises Dropbox and allows me to identify the file I want to share. But when I click on the file, I get an error message

        They haven't figured out a solution, that's why there is no answer here. Slack and Dropbox keep giving us the run-around by pointing fingers at each other. Bottom line, these two apps don't have an integration

      Hi Lusil,

      Initially, I contacted the Support desk and was told to post my question here (see screenshot email response). I'll follow up via email as you have suggested.

        Let us know how it goes!
