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" )
To be really honest and with all due respect.
Why has good things always seem to have a expiration date.
Everything works great until someone comes around to screw it all up.
Normally, when you contact support about it. They respond.
The ether fix it. Or they explain why it need to be this way in order to move forward.
So we all can try to understand, digest our loss and stop nagging about the obvious.
I really scratch my head about, why i wasn't able to create a link from one day to another until it's sync - while it perfectly worked before - then all these people including me complaining about it. It is seriously annoying / clutters my workflow yes indeed. Why is this not rolled back yet? Like it's been rolled out. You know, roll it back in. and if it's not that easy, an explanation why not, instead of keeping us in the dark.
I'm totally missing the comments 'Hey what a great idea. this really helps me work so many times, that i lost count 'faster' than ever before! wooweewow' after the roll out. otherwise, please share the link.. yeah wait for it to sync first, sorry about that.
It looks like no one from dropbox is even reading this...
