Sharing: Failed to load sharing screen, could not retrieve sharing information

I know others have had the same issues, but I haven’t seen any resolutions. When I try to share a folder, as soon as I tap “Invite to folder”, I get a popup stating “Failed to load sharing screen / Could not retrieve sharing information.” Also, if I tap “Folder settings”, I get a popup stating “Failed to load setting screen / Could not retrieve settings information.” This occurs in the Dropbox app on my iPhone 13 (iOS 17.1.2), as well as in Chrome and Firefox on the same phone. (I can’t access Dropbox from my company-issue laptop.)
I can generate a share link and send it to my wife’s iPhone 14, but the share doesn’t work when she selects Join.

Hey there, skreidle, thanks for posting here!
If you have some screenshots, they'd definitely be more than welcome.
Have you tried clearing the app's cache and/or signing out and back in since you first noticed this?
I've also merged you into this relevant thread, where others have experienced the same issue. Can you try some of the troubleshooting steps mentioned here, and let me know more?
Keep us posted!
- Megan, here’s a screen capture video of me attempting to share a folder and look into the folder’s settings; I’m not sure if this share link of the video will work — when I share a folder via link, the recipient can’t join it — but here: https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/7d3zzo7cgbrtxy0yn6j9u/RPReplay_Final1703353195.mov?rlkey=skz9up5pqr9uq241hc18j5w9d&dl=0
If that doesn’t work, here’s an iCloud share link to the same video: https://share.icloud.com/photos/0baNaDVX2y2qnPB_C8KiO3-rQ
I can’t share a folder from the iPhone app — that’s what’s in the video — or from Safari on a MacBook. Same failed results.- Nancy
Hey skreidle! Hope it’s OK to jump in.
