Hi Daria Ten, thanks for bringing this to our attention.

 

Are you copying the link from the Dropbox site, mobile app or the desktop folder?

 

How have you copied the link previously?

 

This will help me to assist further!

    Hey there Daria Ten, sorry to jump in, but have you tried replacing www with dl in your newly created links?

     

    This will directly render content for public links in the browser.
