Hi DHoesly! Thanks for posting on the forum. 

 

Can you clarify which Dropbox platform you used to upload your files, and where you can’t see them exactly now?

 

Also, did you create shared links for them, and you’re getting an error? Can you send me more details (or even screenshots) of what’s happening? 

 

Let me know, when you’re ready.

    If memory serves, I uploaded the files by using Dropbox's button.  If I sign into my Dropbox account, I can see only three files, one of which I uploaded today (the one whose link--gotten when I click "share"--still doesn't work.  When I Ctrl+Click the link (in a Word doc) I get this error message:

    Don't know if that will be helpful to you......

    Best regards,

    David

      Hi DHoesly, does the shared link work when you copy and paste it into a browser directly?

       

      What version of Word are you running on your machine?

        Since I don't see the reply I entered earlier, the answer to your question is Yes, the link works when pasted into Chrome's URL window; and Office 2016 Word.

        Thanks!!
