I can't share a file, my sharing activity has been suspended

Hello,

After years of not using my Dropbox account I logged in and when I tried to share a file I was greeted with:

Error in call to API function 2 sharing create shared link with settings: 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.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thank You

    Hi sv252​, thanks for bringing this to our attention.

    It sounds like access to your sharing was paused on your account. 

    Have you checked this article to see if any of the files you're trying to share, or have already shared, breaches the Terms of Service?

    This will help me to assist further!

    Hi Jay​ 

    I did review that article and didn't see anything in my account that would breach the TOS. I did remove some files that I had backup but were not shared just in case those were the problem files. So I'm not sure at this point.
