Hi jdpak2, would you be able to post a couple of screenshots so that we can have some visual samples as well? 

 

Have you considered amending your shared links to have them force download the content they point to rather than previewing it?

    I am having the same issue and have done everything suggested in Support Chat to no avail. I have been using Dropbox for years for client proofs and have never had this issue until a few weeks ago. Is there any update on a fix?
