Hey @flamango777888999, thanks for reaching out about this. 

There are several reasons why you might be seeing this. Can you please take a look at this article to check if you can find an explanation about it? Like, for example, lots of traffic (downloads) from your links?

Let me know what you find!

Turns out it was because of traffic spam, i'm the only one using the links and i don't download them repeatedly so i am not sure what is causing the traffic

If you are getting this as a continuous error then Dropbox are removing your sharing rights for some reason - sharing illegal files, viruses, copyright material or programs are the main ones. 

 

Dropbox will continually block the links and stop sharing if you continue to do so - even with a new account.
