Hi everyone. We recently discovered a bug that caused this to break. It is now fixed. If you continue to have trouble copying a link to a file that is uploading/syncing please let us know.
It will be especially helpful if you can also tell us:
* What version of Dropbox you're using: Dropbox Windows, Mac, or Web
* The steps you're using to copy the link (e.g. right click, then choose "Copy Dropbox Link" )

I'm not even exaggerating when I say, Dropbox changed my (work) live.
It was such a release to leave the mess behind that was FTP transfer. Anyone remember this sh..t ..?
And this little thing was a core part of the Dropbox flow.
Drag & drop & forget-about-it.
But not, forgetting about it ... cause it was already done.
It's bad for our customers and bad for us.
What a mess. I'm mad as hell. ; )
