Just to add — if you ever get the offer again and decide to try it, make sure to cancel before the 30 days are up to avoid being charged if you don't want to continue!

Just my personal view as a user and without commenting on whether this idea would be profitable for Dropbox or not, I think your suggestion of simplifying direct device-to-device sharing is interesting.

Welcome to Dropbox! An internet connection is required to upload, download, and sync files with Dropbox. However, once files are synced to your device, you can access them offline. Any changes made offline will sync automatically when you reconnect to the internet.

Hi Boxer, It looks like your ability to share was paused for one of the reasons explained in the Help Center guide.Based on similar cases I've seen in the community, if this is the first time it happens, it should sort itself out automatically after 24 hours.
