Re: My shortcut files in my Dropbox folder on Windows have stopped working

Hi GregP1​, thanks for bringing this to our attention.

According to the link in the second image of the shortcut file, does the original file still exist at that location with the exact same name? 

Is this the same for all the shortcut files, or only for files located in certain locations?

Any other info or screenshots would be helpful!
