How to delete a shared link to my photos?

In the Dropbox Android app, I can go to the Photos UI, select a few photos, and generate a link. Now my question is where I can revoke the link (or setting an expiry, a password, etc.)? It's no...

Hey FrederickZh, thanks for posting your question today!

 

You should be able to see the link you created and delete it from this page on the Dropbox website.

 

Let me know how it goes.

    Hi Hannah, as mentioned the link is not in this page. I created such a link today but the latest link in Shared page was from 22 Feb.

     

    I wouldn't be surprised if it is a bug related to the leap day.

      Hmm, in that case, while still on dropbox.com, navigate to the file, click on the share option (rectangular icon with an upwards facing arrow), click the gear icon at the top right, click "link for viewing (that's the one that was most likely created) and you should see a "delete link" option.

       

      If that's not the case, is it possible that you sent a Transfer link instead of a shared link?

        Hannah 'Link for viewing' only works for links to a single file/folder. I selected 4 photos. The link is still valid and 'link for viewing' just tells me 'There isn’t a link for viewing' for those photos.

        And no, it wasn't a Transfer. I don't think Transfer is even supported in the Android app.
