Error (403) when trying to download my own files
Hi, I hope someone can help me with this.
I log into my Dropbox account and try downloading any files and I get this message: -
Error (403)
It seems you don't belong here! You should probabl...
I re-created the link a third time w/o a password, with an expiration date, and it worked. Then removed the link and created one with a password with no expiration date, it got the 403 error when trying to download the shared data.
So, the issue arises when a password is incorporated.
This is needs to be fixed immediately! My Dropbox account just became useless, I must have have the added password security when sharing access to my data.
This appears to be affecting share links that have passwords on them. Removing the password results in a working link once again. Please use the following topic to follow this issue, or to add any additional information. Thank you.
