We are having the same issue. The person opening the link gets a blank screen. Both mobile and desktop browsers and both chrome and Safari.

How strange that all of us are having this!
Ours seems to be working again! We both have enough space, so that was not the problem. We both restarted, and that samed to make the biggest difference. It started working on her end for about a day, and I could see files she put in, but she couldn't see mine. Then a couple days later she started seeing my files. Hoping it continues!

Hey all, thank you for posting here!
It seems we had a couple of issues with shared links earlier. However, the status page mentions that it's now resolved.
Can you check if everything is back and running on your end, and let me know?
Thank you so much!

Just had the problem start up again! I checked and the status is operational.

We're having quite a few issues with dropbox syncing shared folders/files on our Macs, as well. Files will show as 0 bytes in the local computer folder, files showing as synced but they aren't, files that are showing as locked for one person, but not for others, etc. Some users are using the Monterey OS, some are using Mojave. We're restarting, resetting sync preferences, reinstalling Dropbox... At least one of these solutions has worked in each instance, however, it's like chasing a ghost!
