Downloading from a shared link from Patreon gives me an error screen
Hello, I am currently using the free version of Dropbox, and I would like to confirm if shared links to uploaded folders still do not have an expiration date by default. I understand that with the Dropbox Professional or Business plans, it is possible to set an expiration date for shared links. However, I would like to know if, on the free plan, my shared links will remain active indefinitely unless I manually delete or remove them. Thank you!

If you're getting an error while downloading from a Patreon shared link:

- Permission Issue – It might be restricted to paid members.
- Server Problem – Try again later.
- Browser Issue – Clear cache or use a different browser.
- Login Required – Make sure you're logged into Patreon.
If the issue persists, contact the creator or Patreon support.
