Hi Hannah,

 

Thanks for getting back to me so quickly! Sorry for the confusion, I am the owner of the folder. 

 

The editors are sharing with users within the team. 

 

Thanks!

Thanks for clarifying, howdy123!

 

Is this a top level folder within the team space?

 

And are they trying to send a "can edit" link to the folder or invite them with their email addresses?

    Hi Hannah,

     

    Can confirm that it is a top level folder and they are trying to send 'can edit' link.

     

    Thanks!

      Thanks, howdy123!

       

      One more question; if the link is a "can edit" one, are the recipients getting some kind of error on their end when they try to upload files?

       

      If you open the link on your end, from a private browsing/incognito window, what do you see?
