Yes, but no!!! Now, with new link the behavior changes, but stays incorrect; now with new link to the same file https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fo/25bzgyfsnf7ewps37i25i/AD-38IrNkvYcv0eHaopJz6s/GOLF-P-WE-AU-BLACK/%231134_GOLF-P-WE-AU-BLACK.eps?rlkey=60509kpyry3hmb2mx00gjpo5h&dl=0:
If I click "Back to files", it asks me log in! 🤷
I generated the above link in the same way as previous one with folder pointing link: https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fo/25bzgyfsnf7ewps37i25i/ADMm0_m7MuQGroaOEsfGVRo?rlkey=60509kpyry3hmb2mx00gjpo5h&e=1&dl=0
It doesn't matter dl=0, dl=1, or raw=1. 🤔 Something still goes wrong despite of no more 2 redirections. Redirection to the link root folder gets replaced by redirection to error HTML (page) in all cases.
Is there some error on my side?
PS: Dropbox doesn't even let to me access my own file! (even when I'm logged in) Before I was able to access my file at least.
