Shared links have a prompts on the site

Hi Afwade, thanks for bringing this to our attention.

This sounds like the normal prompt on the Dropbox site to create an account. 

This is an optional step and people can exit that prompt to view the link.

If you have any further queries, feel free to message back.

The prompts have been around for a while, however, it should be possible to exit the prompt in order to view the shared link.

Thanks Jay,

I made a loom so you can see exactly what I'm doing and maybe that will help see where things are going wrong.

Hey Afwade, I'm afraid that for security reasons we can't access your link.

Is there a chance to send us a series of screenshots, showing the steps you're following?

The prompt on the site isn't new, but the format of the links have changed a bit and you likely can't modify them the same way that you're showing in your video (removing the rlkey and dl parameters, and changing the domain to dl.dropboxusercontent). See this thread for the discussion.
