Hi RUST-REPUBLIC - welcome to the Dropbox Community!

I'm not really familiar with this kind of setup; care to explain how this should work and how Dropbox comes into play in this scenario?

On a side note, the shared link you mentioned in your post is not an active one as I can see; could you recreate it and try again? Do you get the same results? 

Let me know what you find and we'll take it from there. 

Happy New Year!

I also have this very same issue. The package comes in a RAR format and when I try to unpack and get the link for the .MAP file I get a message saying dropbox can not use the format. If anyone knows how to do this I would love to know how. Like walter said I have followed every step provided exactly but we can not open .MAP
