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.

someone opened ticket?
Why haven't you? EVERYONE having this issue should open a ticket.
... and here is the link for creating tickets:

I'm with everyone else.
Great issue to have with a "file sharing" system isn't it?
Same problem here. I'll be using Microsoft OneDrive in the mean time.
Hi. Support ticket response
-----------------------------------
Hi Max,
Thanks for reaching out about this! I've passed your report along to our engineering team who will endeavor to fix it.
As there is now a report with our engineering team, due to how our ticketing system works, we will need to close this support ticket. We will reach back out with any further information or questions.
We appreciate your patience in regards to this matter. In the meantime, please let us know if you any other questions or feedback.
Regards,
ClintYeah, sadly I remember their response is automatic, however before their engineers start doing something, all my 18 gigs of data will be safely moved to GoogleDrive, cuz i have no time for this crap.
Work starts in a few hours, without being able to properly share links, i'm out of options and using the app for this is not gonna help.
I could simply use an external but that would kill the purpose of having the files stored for the same purpose without copying the entire system to 50 computers.
I posted about this bug months ago but Dropbox weren't interested. Dropbox is on the way out folks, start moving your files elsewhere before it's too late!
Same problem here. Please advise as soon as this fault is sorted.

@John: That issue was different from the one that this thread is referring to.
Had this same problem for past few days, please sort this out soon DB - and many thanks to the poster who provided the temporary workaround of using your own DB number with the folder/file names etc!
