How can I see details on a shared link that has expired?

I sent a link several months back that has since expired.

 

I am not sure what specific file was shared with this link, so I am trying to figure that out. Is there a what was shared with an expired link that I created? Ideally if I am the owner and click the link, I can reactivate it or see the folder/file associated with the link.

    Hey claweyenuk - thanks for using Dropbox and welcome to our Community!

     

    What is the exact error the link is giving? 

     

    Could you please have a look at your shared links page and let me know if you can see it listed there? 

     

    Thanks so much!

    Same. I've created a link and send it to a client months ago. Since the link has expired and the client is asking for a link again but I have not idea what the link was for. 

    It says the person who shared the link might be able to add time if you need.... but how? where? how do I find out what the link was to?

    Hey funwin! If the shared link was associated with a specific file on your Dropbox account, the name of the file may be visible in the URL of the shared link. 

    If you want, you can send me a screenshot of your shared link’s URL and I can take a look.
