Please don't block me from generating a link for a file that hasn't finished uploading
A new "feature" has been implemented where if I drop a new file in a DB folder, and then go to click on "Copy Dropbox Link", it simply won't perform the task until the file has finished uploading.

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" )

Seems coders these days just change things when they want, the way they want, slash and burn, without asking the people it will affect the most -- their clients!!
Oh, nobody cares about this or that, you know why? Because we wrote the code and it's all trash, so we can just *assuuume nobody else uses it either.
We think we're all that until we suddenly, well, not this here. But everything else is gold.
I thought this feature worked before and recently I expected it to but failed. So, with a slow web connection at grandma's house, I had to wait over 15 minutes then I forgot the next task.
Makes one wanna consider jumping ship. Aren't there enough alternatives out there at least as good or better? Or, there must be folks out there to code something that works and is a little more sensitive to the end user's POV.
Don't change stuff unless you've consulted with the users.
Thanks.
