If I search in the forum or on google for "how to resend a dropbox invitation to a shared folder" I find an answer for business accounts, but I just have a normal individual pro account. I shared a folder with about 10 people months ago. 4 joined, and 6 didn't. How do I resend the invite to the 6 people so that I am sure they have a recent invite in their email inbox?

I had the same issue. I deleted the address that haven't received and I added again and share it again. It seems it is OK now. In the meantime you can make a link and send the link by email. they can access and download the files via the link.

I agree. It's a basic use case. You can send them the link the first time. There's all this flexibility for each person to rename shared folders (and that's great!). So one doesn't necessarily know what link to send them, something like dropbox.com/home/new-name-or-orginal-or-what-was-it?. Meanwhile on their side, they might barely use it and don't remember where that thing you shared with them 6 months ago is.

Also, inviatations don't work like they did previously. Before, when you invited someone to a shared folder, they had to accept the invitation before they were a member. Now, as soon as you invite someone they have access. They can add and remove the folder from their Dropbox at will, without ever changing their membership status within the share. Because of this, there's no reason to re-invite someone that's already a member. They already have access. Only when they leave the share, removing their access completely, would you be able to re-invite someone.

Thanks for responding. The share page helps. However, it doesn't provide the kind of direct access one ideally wants for less techy people one is sharing with. They still have to dig through many shares and remember what it's called. But I will use that shares page link from now on. Thanks.

A friend sent me an invitation to join a shared folder. When I tried to accept it, Dropbox asked me what I wanted to do with all my files! It wants me to create a whole new dropbox account in order to keep my files separate from the folder I've been invited to join. This has never happened before and I can't find a way around it. I just want to join the shared folder- I absolutely do not want to create a new dropbox account in order to do so. I already have a dropbox account!

Here is the hard truth, based on the screenshots that you gave, and thanks a bunch for those, the invitation is not from a regular Dropbox account. It could be that the other person has accepted a trial run of Dropbox for business or even a free Team account, but no matter, its another set of rules. I will list a bunch of Help Center

Articles at the end of this post for your review

Here are a bit of facts. You would want to have a new account since once accepted, you lose ownership of that account, Another point is after joining a Business team if the team admin decides to remove you from the team, the account is deleted. It does NOT get returned to the previous owner. So this is a different ball game, a different Dropbox experience. I would recommend reading up on it to see if you want this.

Hi Leslie B.8,

From your screenshots, it looks like your friend invited you to join their team. Accepting the invite would change your account to a Business account. This does not sound like what you are trying to do. I would ask your friend to resend the invitation to join the shared folder following instructions here: -folders/share-with-others

Shared folders in business accounts may have restrictions on sharing out of the team. If this is allowed by the team admin, the user would see a warning that they're sharing out of the team, and the share will go through. If the admin has prevented sharing out of team, then your friend should talk to their admin about what they are trying to accomplish and why they need to share outside the team.

is it possible that the sender invited you to the shared folder, using an email address that is not associated with your email address that you are using for your registered Dropbox account? if so, then ask the sender to invite using the correct one.

I did get an email notification to "join the team APAA" rather than to join a shared folder, but my friend insists that she invited me to share the folder. I'm attaching a screen shot of what the invitation looks like on the link you shared. It's the one from Sharon Gates. I really appreciate any help you can give!

I haven't heard of APAA account but it doesn't mean there isn't one, this seems related to having a Business account which is what the other has. I am not familiar with these rules yet but I am reaching out to my fellow Super Users and even uploaded your screenshot so I can get an answer for you. Please be patient with me. At least we are getting closer to a solution. I will post soon another reply

so basically, the other (the one who invited you) either have a free team Dropbox account or actually has a Dropbox for Business account. Since they just need to share a folder, I would suggest that you select to keep your accounts separately. The other option is to transfer but that will have different rules that you may not be ready for. So I suggest the second option to keep accounts separately. Hopefully, it will give the option to sign in on existing account. But let us know if any other issues with this

Thank you, Chris. The APAA is just the name of our group- not a type of Dropbox account. Sharon organizes our group and named her folder that. But when I tried to "keep my files seperate" Dropbox doesn't give me an option to keep my existing account- it wants me to set up an entirely new account, even requesting a new email address (separate from the one I already use with Dropbox.) Of course, I don't want to do that. I already have an existing Dropbox account, which I pay for (for extra space.)

I asked Sharon what type of Dropbox account she has and it's not a business account, she says. Just a regular account.

I did many invitations and all of them worked, however for one person it does not work. I send the invitation email, he opens it create the password but after that, he is not sent to quicksight but to another log in page:

Hi @remba87 - Is it possible to give a different username ( just add a number at the end) and test it. This looks very strange for me, please try this out. If it is not working, better to submit a request to AWS customer support team and show this. I am suspecting the user id may be exist as a IAM user. so give a different username and try it.

Hi @remba87 - Ok, the symptom is very strange, please raise a ticket to AWS Customer support team so that they can review this by screenshare. Please share the solution once you will get it. This is something new for all of us.

I had multiple meetings with Zoom agents, and nobody can help me, they told me that I just have to resend the invitation but it doesnt fix the problem, I have 800 users in pending list so please I need help, or I will be in troubles with my clients.

Additional context

I sent the invitation with a Licensed, before I sent the invitation with the license and capacity, even without a license but didnt work, please if someone could help me with this problem ASAP

2) Since i found it strange i sent him an email using the same account he used for the invitation (i have no other account) asking whether he had actually sent it (imagining a Man in the Middle thing). No reply.
