    Thanks for the reply.  I had waited perhaps 7 hrs after the initial creation to attempt to add a couple more folks.  Apparently, the system needed to rest overnight because this morning I was able to add an additional user without problem. 

     

    Thanks again for the offer to help,

Hey education-office, thanks for letting us know about this. 

 

38 is a pretty big number of members you invited at once, so perhaps that's what's causing this issue here.

 

There's no specific number of course, but can you give it some more time, before trying to share the folder with another user?

 

A few hours should be okay.

 

Let me know how it goes!
