Copy public link is not working on dropbox.com

Copy public link is not working on dropbox.com

 Hi I've been using that COPY PUBLIC LINK from dropbox.com for years and at first it used to actually copy it to the windows copy buffer as it should.  Over the past couple of months it would pop the address as it should but it stopped being able to automatically copy to the copy buffer, but luckily i could still do it myself manually by manually selecting the text and hitting ctrl-c.  In the latest build of dropbox.com, it doesn't even list the address to the file anymore and obviously it couldn't copy to the buffer beforehands but now i can't do it manually either!  😞

so i can't share any files from dropbox.com right now!  😞  I've tried in both google chrome and firefox and same issue with both.  As for which version of windows i'm running, it's the up to date win10....   Thanks in advance.

I'm with everyone else.

Great issue to have with a "file sharing" system isn't it?

Same problem here.  I'll be using Microsoft OneDrive in the mean time.

Yeah, sadly I remember their response is automatic, however before their engineers start doing something, all my 18 gigs of data will be safely moved to GoogleDrive, cuz i have no time for this crap.

Work starts in a few hours, without being able to properly share links, i'm out of options and using the app for this is not gonna help.

I could simply use an external but that would kill the purpose of having the files stored for the same purpose without copying the entire system to 50 computers.

I posted about this bug months ago but Dropbox weren't interested. Dropbox is on the way out folks, start moving your files elsewhere before it's too late!

@John: That issue was different from the one that this thread is referring to.

Need more support?
