Hi Hanna! Thanks for the answer. I have the link and was originally send by my granfather. I think the file is still in his account.

    Unfortunately, the only person that could generate a new link for you would be the account owner. Does anyone still have access to your grandfather's Dropbox account? If not, it's just not possible to recover the link or file(s) that it linked to.
