Copy public link is not working on dropbox.com
Hi I've been using that COPY PUBLIC LINK from dropbox.com for years and at first it used to actually copy it to the windows copy buffer as it should. Over the past couple of months it would pop the address as it should but it stopped being able to automatically copy to the copy buffer, but luckily i could still do it myself manually by manually selecting the text and hitting ctrl-c. In the latest build of dropbox.com, it doesn't even list the address to the file anymore and obviously it couldn't copy to the buffer beforehands but now i can't do it manually either! :(
so i can't share any files from dropbox.com right now! :( I've tried in both google chrome and firefox and same issue with both. As for which version of windows i'm running, it's the up to date win10.... Thanks in advance.

The shortening feature is no longer working.
The shorten link function has been removed from Dropbox. This has been slowly happening for the last couple of years as the feature was removed from various parts of the service. If you would like to continue to shorten any of your links, you will want to look for services that focus specifically on providing that feature, such as bit.ly or goo.gl.

I got this problem today and it is not working now. Do you have any idea about what is going on?
It seems to be working fine here. Try clearing your browser's cache/browsing history and try again, or try another browser.

I think it will not work for screenshots which I need to be viewed inline in 3rd party websites.
Create a share link and follow the second link (201) that I posted above.
But now (as of Thursday evening) it is not working again.
It's working fine for me at the moment.
again
will be 7 more days like this?
Peter W H & Pablo f - same with me! :-((

It seems the Copy Public Link button has stopped again, but the Share button will still give you the public link. I'll poke Dropbox about it again...
I have now found that the "Share" button (over to the right of the file name) is working in exact same way as the "Copy public link" button worked, it gives the full folder/file path and puts it to the clipboard.
Up until today, everything was fixed. Now when I have a very important customer to take care of, the "Copy public link" button has stopped working again? What is going on over there?

Lindsay, refer to my post above. Use the Share button for now.
Same issue here with the web interface. - copy public link - not working.
Same here. Please fix this issue asap. I rely on this feature for my work.

As has been stated, the Share button provides the same functionality with just one extra click. It's a perfectly acceptable work-around for now.
If you had a ticket open for this, add a reply stating that it's happening again. For those of your that don't already have a ticket open for this, why don't you?
