    Thanks for posting on our forum, Djbad!

     

    Are you experiencing the same behavior if you download the file via a different browser, as well? Feel free to send over a screenshot of what you see.

     

    Also, to clarify, are you downloading the file from a shared link, or has it been saved to your own Dropbox account?

     

    Regarding the shared links, it’s true that their structure has been updated (you can find more info on this here). 

     

    Keep me posted for more updates.
