"Couldn't Load" error when accessing a file through a shared link
When accessing a file via a shared link, we are getting an error: "Couldn't Load Something went wrong on our end"
with a link to a Download button, but nothing downloads.
Any idea...

Hi, so changing the end of the link to raw=1 worked to display the gif, but it doesn't go to the link in Dropbox, which is what we ideally need.
But, my manager is happy with that work around for now.
Thank you for your assistance 🙂

Hi Hannah,
Thanks for your reply.
I have tried on 2 different pc's and my colleague has tried as well on her pc, tried with multiple links and both get the same error.

Hmm, how large is the file you're trying to access?
Also, can you confirm with the owner that it's still in its location in Dropbox and hasn't been deleted?

The files are all under 5mb and definitely in the same location.
I have restarted my pc again today, cleared the cache etc and still getting the same error- Walter3 months agoDropbox Staff
If you've ensured that the files the shared links point to haven't been deleted by their owner, could you try another network and let us know if you still get the same results @CarlsB?

Hi, my colleague and I both work remotely from different locations and different networks.
Still getting the same error.
Thanks.
