Hi DHoesly, does the shared link work when you copy and paste it into a browser directly?
What version of Word are you running on your machine?

Since I don't see the reply I entered earlier, the answer to your question is Yes, the link works when pasted into Chrome's URL window; and Office 2016 Word.

Hi again, DHoesly! Thanks for the extra info.
To be honest, if the shared link works normally via your web browser, then this is most likely related to Microsoft Word, rather than Dropbox.
What I’d suggest, as the next step, is to have a look with Microsoft directly. They may be able to isolate what’s happening, and provide a solution.
