Welcome to our Community, ibrahimmk! 

 

From your description, it sounds like this shared link was sent to you in the past by someone else, who gave you view-only permissions to it, you opened it, and now your browser automatically redirected you there. If this happened, then this link/its files aren’t saved on your Dropbox account, so only the owner can grant you with more permissions, or delete the link on their end.

 

If I've misunderstood something, feel free to correct me.

 

If you wish to be redirected to your web account, without seeing this shared link first, I’d suggest trying to clear the cache of your web browser, and then attempting to log in to Dropbox again. Does that work?

 

Keep me posted for any updates.
