OSX El Capitan sharing button doesn't work

OSX El Capitan, 10.11.6, I started to have problem with File sharing button on the toolbar. It doesn't let me share any files, Notes, pages, numbers, keynote, NONE. Id doesn't let me share them via email, doesn't let me share them in the FB, Twitter, etc... The file, I am trying to share or email, just stops responding and I have to quit the whole program. It also doesn't let me share files via iCloud link. Basically all the sharing has shut down. Files are updating themselves to the cloud and there is no problem sharing them from my iPhone or iPad.

MacBook Pro (Retina, 15-inch, Mid 2014), OS X El Capitan (10.11.6)

Hello I.T87,

Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.

I see that you are having issues with file sharing on your MacBook Pro. This will typically be a software issue, let's see if we can narrow it down a bit and see if it is just with this user. If you have another user on your computer, log into that user and test for the issue. If you do not have another user, this article will walk you through setting one up: OS X El Capitan: Set up users on your Mac

Once we know if it is a user issue or the whole OS, we can then offer additional suggestions.

Best regards.
