Hi guys! It seems I'm experiencing the same issue listed here. I created a file and shared it, after a little while I got a 404 error accessing the file and all other files have the same error now. This is happening from about a hour now. How can I try to fix it?

    Hey thepuuung, thanks for posting to our Community.

     

    Since your shared link is giving a 404 error, could it be that your shared links have been banned?

     

    Can you check your emails, to see if there's any Dropbox-related messages about this there? 

     

    Keep me posted!

      Hi all! 
      Recently I've created and shared a file that seems to have generated issues among all my other Paper files on Dropbox and now cannot access any of them- I keep encountering a page with a 404 error.
      Interesting fact is that if I right click the file before opening it I can export it (like as a .pdf) and can access that version but not the original Paper file (ending with .paper).
      Please help as I'd need to access this information as soon as possible. Thanks!

      Thank you Megan! I've received an email from Dropbox asking me if it was me accessing from a certain location. I confirmed it was me but still cannot access my files.

      Hi Megan. Nothing really changed even after confirmation it was me accessing from a certain browser from a certain location, which is the only email I got from Dropbox. How can I try to get back access to my files?
