Link Preview Not working

Whenever I copy a link to a website into my dropbox paper document it doesnt show the link preview. Strangely enough it worked the first couple of times but no longer does. Help!

    Hey there Langly,

    Could you please provide me with an example of a URL that you're having issues with? Have you also tried adding any other link to see if you are able to have the preview appear? Furthermore, could you check that you don't have any space added before embedding the link into the Paper doc?

    Let me know what you find!
