Where's all the links (green ticks) gone?
I know that the end of Public folder support is from today, but ALL links from my Dropbox folder have now gone. I can't share a file from ANYWHERE in the folder. There are NO green ticks.
I've ...
- I'm not wrong at all. See https://www.dropbox.com/help/9199 'Symlinks' section for at least one page where they say you need the original files in the Dropbox folder and links elsewhere. Just because its 'worked until now' doesnt mean it was supposed to.
And yes. Reinstalling will keep all safe. - Ok, I downloaded the new Dropbox (it's always done this automatically - why did it suddenly STOP today?) and now I have my green ticks back.
You did, after all, have a solution that worked for me. For that I thank you.
But why oh why did you have to complicate matters with all that nonsense about symlinks? They work, they've always worked, they continue to work. Let's leave it there.

Because Dropbox does not, never has, and likely never will, officially support them. They have been know to cause many issues for many people, and it would be a disservice to not warn you about that so one day in the future, IF they stop working completely, you'll know why.
