Contact the person that gave it to you and ask for a new one.

Unfortunately the only person who can do it is the original person who sent it.

As Rich said she needs to get you a new link or go to www.dropbox.com/links and change the expiry date of the link if its still accessible. Ultimately, however, the only person who can do it is the originator of the link.

Hello, 

 

Could you reactivate this link : 

[Link removed by Moderator]

We moved some folders this morning but another person did a very big mailing with this link embeded.

It will help us a lot if you could re-activate it.

Best,

Arnaud,

Links cannot be reactivated like that. When you move, rename or delete a file or folder, any links pointing to them become invalid. You'll need to create a new link.

All you can try and do is put then files back EXACTLY where they were. 

Other wise, no, they cannot be re-activated
