How do I unblock my account from sharing

When I try to share a file I see this message

 

"We’ve suspended your sharing activity because of a violation of Dropbox’s Terms of Service and Acceptable Use Policy, and Terms of Service or Services Agreement."

 

I am not sure what policy I violated as my usage is pretty standard. I upload some personal files to my account throughout the month and I share some  of the files for view with my accountant once every month.

 

I am on the way to become a paid customer. I need to figure out what is causing this problem. Otherwise, I will have to switch to using Google drive but I prefer not to do the migration unless I absolutely have to.

 

Can someone please help?

        Hey WilliamBorges, sorry to hear about this.

         

        It sounds like your shared links may have been banned. How long have you been facing this issue?

         

        Did you receive an email from Dropbox informing you about this?

    I'm having the same issue as OP:
    "Can’t share file

    We’ve suspended your sharing activity because of a violation of Dropbox’s Terms of Service and Acceptable Use Policy, and Terms of Service or Services Agreement."
    I have no idea what file(s) this would be, and don't know that I've received any email notification specific to this issue. I'd happily remove any violating content to have sharing restored.

      Hey shindleria235 - sorry to hear about this. 

       

      Would it be OK if we reached out via email to have a further look internally?
