Dropbox StaffHey Abby8, sorry to hear you're having issues with this.
Can you please send us a screenshot of the exact error you're getting so that we can have a look too?
Thanks!
Hi Walter, I don't know how to do a screenshot. Could you tell me? Alternatively, I'll try to find the message and just copy and type it into here.
Maybe I should add that I then tried another Dropbox folder of mine, and got the same refusal. All these links are some years old, if that helps explain anything.

Are these Dropbox links you are using Abby8 ? That means they are probably not in your Dropbox folder as you are viewing them on a public website.
If they are in yours you can see them at www.dropbox.com/home
I've no idea if these are "Dropbox links." Also, I'm using my home computer--is that a "public website"? I'm just using this Dropbox community thing. When you refer to "[my] Dropbox folder" I'm not sure what you mean; I do hope these messages wouldn't go into my photo folder, which I'm trying to access!

Can you explain exactly what you are trying to do and most importantly HOW?
Screenshots would help 🙂
