Can I access a shared link, if it has been blocked by someone?
I bought a video from someone. and she sent it to me on dropbox. but one day she blocked the link. how can I access the link again?
Thanks @sander34!
It should work, I'm testing it now on my end as well, but keep in mind that the change you can make is a bit small and it takes about a second to show.
If that's not what you see, I'd suggest checking out from an incognito window or another browser, to see if you get a different behavior.

Hey Hennecent evan, thanks for posting your query to our Community.
When you say that the link is blocked, can you give me some more info about this?
Indeed, if the person that sent you the link, deletes/moves the file from their account, the link will break and you won't be able to access the files there anymore.
I hope this clarifies!
