Can someone get this file to work for me? Shared link not working.

This file won’t load how can I get it to work? I can’t send the link since it’s some explicit stuff in it.

    You need to explain what the issue is and what is causing problems. We cannot help if we dont know what the problem is.

    So basically everytime I try to click on the link to this file it doesn’t work I can send you the link. if you use snap add me [against forum rules] I can send the link there. it’s like everytime I try opening it says the link has been disabled or can’t display it.

    If it says link disabled then the link has been removed - possibly via Dropbox if its deemed against the T&Cs

    hmm maybe that could be true. I had some issues like this before where a file just stopped working then when another person has it, it works. like how does that work does Dropbox disable the user with file itself?

    If a link is disabled, it's disabled for everyone.

     

    If the link you're trying to access is saying that it's been disabled, all you can do is contact the owner of the file and ask them for a new link.
