What happens to currently shared files when changing "default access for shared links"

[Heresmyusername]

Hey all,

We're on Dropbox Business and our "default access for shared links" is currently set to "anyone with a link". We'd like to update this to "Team Members". When we make this update, will it affect any files that were previously shared with the "anyone with a link" option? Or is it just the default setting going forward?

Thanks!

Forgot about support chat that comes with Dropbox Business. I asked them and it only applies to all new shared links created. Existing links will not be impacted.

I can't access the dropbox link to the video files that I've store.  It usually appears eventually, but today it hasn't.  Any suggestions?

Hi @drosenblum, how are you today? 

I'd appreciate some additional info in regards to the issue you're experiencing. Do you get any error messages?

Does that shared link belong to you, or did someone else send it to you?

Keep me posted!
