Welcome back to our Community, aammash!

 

Which Dropbox platform are you using to generate your transfers? If you’re using the website or the mobile app, have you cleared their cache? 

 

If yes, have you also cleared WhatsApp’s cache?

 

Do you use any other third-party apps for generating similar links? If yes, is the thumbnail not working only with Dropbox? 

 

Let me know.

Yes, only dropbox is not working well to show the preview thumbnail image, other apps are working fine sending their url link within whatsapp. When is dropbox going to address this issue, I been having this problem since 21 Aug 24.
