Retrieving Photos from a Decade-Old Dropbox File

Hello, I was sent photos in a Dropbox link set up by a company a decade ago and I never downloaded and saved them. Is there any way of getting access to the photos?

    No. If the link no longer works you need to contact the company and ask them to re-shared the files with you.
