Dropbox StaffHey kNuTz, thanks for letting us know about this.
Are you sharing this folder with edit permissions with these users?
Is it possible that the email address in question is not associated with a Dropbox account?
Keep me posted.
Hey Hannah thanks for getting back to me. Yes it ended up being the individual didn't set up a Dropbox account in order for the share to work! I did think there was a prompt when sharing to invite the recipient to Dropbox, all sorted now though thank you.

Hi kNuTz! I am so glad that you got your folder shared and it all got sorted on your receivers end. I'm Theresa, one of the Community managers here at Dropbox and I'd love to hear how you're using Dropbox if you're up for sharing 😊 I'm always so curious about how people use Dropbox daily - you never know what cool tips might be worth passing along to you or our team! 💫
Hi Theresa,
I always share dropbox folder even if the email has no DB account yet since a link for registration will be sent to their email. However , I still don't know how to fix this issue as kNutz's solution does not fix mine.
Please help.
Thanks
