In my case, i was using a premium package. why should you suspend my link because of increase in traffic or bandwidth usage if i am a premium user. Is that not why i am paying.
There are still bandwidth limitations on paid accounts; they're just a lot higher than on Basic accounts. Where a Basic account has 20GB of bandwidth for share links, paid accounts have 200GB. If you go beyond 200GB in a 24-hour period, all of your links will be suspended.
most of my Public Links are down and i dont know how to get them back up.How were these links created? Were you using the Public folder (if you had on) to create them, or were you creating a share link to the files? If you were using the Public folder, that feature was deprecated in 2012 and finally disabled in September of this year. Any files in the Public folder that had links would have stopped working, and the Public folder would have been changed to a regular folder.
If you were using share links, what's the error message that the recipients are receiving? If it's a 429, that's the typical bandwith error, though it could be caused by other reasons. Only Dropbox Support can tell you the actual cause (it could be a virus, malware, copyright claim, etc.). It they're getting a 404 error, then the links are pointing to a file that has likely been moved, renamed or deleted.
sorry.. I mistake on error code above.
I get this error:
"Error (429)
This account's links are generating too much traffic and have been temporarily disabled!"
But I didn't do much traffic, for sure
Thanks
