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" )
Same!
Happy new year to everyone except the sad sod who thought removing this crucial feature was a step in the right direction. At this point WeTransfer is a better solution to Dropbox as this was literally the ONLY feature Dropbox was worth keeping around for. OneDrive and GDrive are both superior to it in every other way already.
How this isn't fixed yet is beyond me. I feel like we're screaming into the void here. Is anyone at Dropbox listening?
Dear Dropbox,
The only thing people are interested in is:
IS THIS FEATURE FIXED YET AND HOW SOON?
Please get on this!!
Lovingly signed,
People contemplating a different cloud storage provider.
P.S. When things are working well, please don't reinvent the horse.

Our teams are actively working on this feature, and it is currently available in beta, if you would like to test it out.
You can find out how to opt in to early releases of Dropbox in this Help Center article.
By 'actively working' what does that mean - actively working to reinstate it? actively working to keep the stupid set up we have now that completely destroys most people's workflows?
I also urgently need this feature back - where to get the beta?
