Dropbox StaffHey Abby.
You might own the content of the link, if you purchased access to the files, for example, but in Dropbox terms, the owner is the person who uploads the files to their account.
Were you the one that initially uploaded the photos to your account and created the link?
Or was the link sent to you by someone else?
Dear Hannah,
No, it was not sent to me by someone else. They are my photos, taken by me in the 1960s in Peace Corps, I initially uploaded them to you, I created the link. Over the last ten or eleven years, I have sent this link to other people.
My last mailing about this problem got returned with a note added that there was something wrong with the link, which I'd copied into the mailing FYI. It didn't say what, though. It has always worked before now. Do these things change on their own, or does Dropbox sometimes change them without notice to us?
I believe I qualify as the owner per what you say. Please, please help me regain access!
Thanks, Abby
