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!

    Link Preview Not working again!

    It worked before, maybe year ago, but not now.

    No space before a link, and links works fine, but no preview and no options to turn it on.

      Sorry to hear that, davidgor . 
       
      Have you tried switching to another browser, using incognito and ensuring that you’re not running any browser extensions? 
       
      If the above don’t do the trick for you, could you please clarify if you are copying a URL of another website or a shared link? Are you adding the link to an existing Paper doc? Do you get the same experience when you add it to a new Paper doc?
       
      Any additional info would be very helpful. Thanks!
