Trying to preview a file online, and getting message "This link isn't quite right" why?

Hi,

 

This is happening with just of one of my file, which is quite regularly used. I access my dropbox account from the browser (chrome) and when I try to open one specific file the following message is shown "This link isn't quiet right". PS this is happening with just one file, rest are accessable as it should be.

 

 

Regards,

Junaid

    Hi preitmeyer, can you try to restore your browser to its default settings and disable any browser plugins there? 

     

    Have you also made sure that you're using the latest update for your Chrome browser?

    Hello again you can mark this resolved etc. as I decided to try to copy the file on Firefox to another folder and try from Chrome... not only did it work but it reset the file to work from dropbox/home on chrome... as in I didn't even have to move it from the subfolder I copied to on Firefox.  Go figure.

    BTW yes I've been on the latest chrome update for all of this so far, and no I didn't and wouldn't want to reset chrome to default settings and stop plugins.

    Thanks for all the suggestions and help getting to this point of trying something else that happened to work.
