Hey there cjchristensen8 - sorry to hear that!
Could you tell me how exactly are you generating this shared link in the first place? Also, is the image available on your Dropbox account? If not, restoring it via your deleted files page should restore the functionality of your shared link(s) as well.
In any case, please keep me posted on your findings and we'll take it from there. Thanks!

Hi Walter - i am just using the standard "share" button next to the image, and also next to the folders. I am not putting the link to the folders in the HTML, just the link to the image. The image is visible in my dropbox account (it has not been deleted).
Thanks!

Great, thanks for the additional information cjchristensen8 - much appreciated.
Could you let me know if you notice the same behavior on another browser and if so, provide me a screenshot of the problem so I can have a visual as well?
Thanks!
