I am also now having this issue and it's causing a huge roadblock on the project I'm working on. I'm using the desktop app on Mac Mojave and trying to share folders.

I am also having this problem. I have two dropbox accounts and found that my personal account has no problem sharing but my work account (through my university) cannot share.
I have Windows 10. I could not share from the dropbox app on my computer nor from the windows interface (right click share from explorer). I rebooted and the problem remained. My dropbox app is up to date.
Based on a prior post, I did manage to share the folder by being logged into dropbox on the web. Once shared this way, the folders sync as they should.
The dropbox is otherwise functioning correctly (sync'ing and sharing just fine). Just can't invite someone to share.
Please fix this.
