Sharing Note error: 'Sorry, your invitation couldn’t be sent.'

From my ICloud notes I am trying to share a note. In doing so it lets me select the method to share, such as email, text or link etc. No matter which method I choose, after I click 'Share' I get an error message " Sorry, your invitation couldn’t be sent." Oddly, I am able to receive shared notes.


I am using upgrade Mac Notes - MAC OS Sierra v. 10.12.4. I am logged in to ICloud with the proper id. My notes are not locked.


When I log in to ICloud online I have the exact same issue. I cannot share and get the same error message.


How do I fix this so I can Share notes?

I'm having the same problem (or at least the same uninformative error message). I'm attempting to share a doc from Numbers.app (vs. Notes in your case). I am trying to share via e-mail (vs. using Facebook in your case).


I can and do send mail all the time (from both iCloud and other accounts) on this machine. The person i am trying to send to is someone i send mail to routinely and whose primary email address happens to be an iCloud address.


It is frustrating to me that this error message is so completely un-informative as to the cause of the problem (or the fix). I tried looking in Console.app. I could see the error, but could not discern any useful additional details as to the cause.
