Thank for clarifying Ashu7878! 
 
As you mentioned that you’re using an existing integration with Dropbox, I’d appreciate it if you could specify which one it is in your next message. Are you using File Requests to collect the files by any chance? If so, then anyone with the link should be able to upload, however you can close it at any time when you'd like to stop receiving files. 
 
Incidentally, have you by any chance run into this issue? If that’s happened, I’d like to replicate & see if I’m getting the same results on my end, so it would be very helpful if you described me what’s led you to this in as much detail as possible. 
 
I look forward to hearing back from you!

Hi Jane, 

I am not using the File Requests integration. The integration is to download the files from Dropbox account. I am not sure what is the name of the integration as this is legacy code but we allow user to login to his dropbox account and select a file that he wishes to upload to our his account for our application. Once he selects a file from his dropbox account, I get direct download URL like this - https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/1/view/uziu191sh0ilvkq/Get%20Started%20with%20Dropbox.pdf using which I download the file contents and upload to user's account. 

Please let me know if you have a support group alias where I can create a query for the issue we are facing. Our application has buisness integration with DropBox.

Thanks,

Aasawari
