share dropbox link in Excel or Word. unable to open https:.......... Cannot download

Hi ...

Got Anyone can solve this issue? thanks

 

  • Hi laura ho, thanks for bringing this to our attention.

     

    Does the shared link work normally when you access it via a browser?

     

    The issue could be related to Microsoft, as the error is the same as in this thread, since support for Office 2013 ended in April this year.

     

    If you have any further queries, feel free to message back.

    Hi, I have attached the error I receive when I copy the link and try open it.  I have signed out and back into dropbox and it's still not working.  I have uploaded an image and copied the link with view access.  I have pasted the link into word and excel but this error appears when I try open the file.
