Understanding and Fixing Sharing Invitations Problems
If you are experiencing issues with sharing invitations on Dropbox, there are a few steps you can take to troubleshoot and resolve the problem.
First, ensure that you are logged into your Dropbox account and that you have the correct permissions to share files. Check your email address to make sure it is accurate and that you are using the correct email format when sending invitations.
