Hi

 

I had exactly the same problem but it has been fixed (v154.4.5363 - OSX) and I can now share my files as used to using the 'Send a Copy' feature which has also had a couple of enhancements.

(is it working for everyone else?)

 

best regards

 

Dan

    For me "Send a Copy" feature doesn't work at all because it has a limit of 2 GB.
