That gave me hope, but it didn't help. Maybe I didn't understand you. I thought you said to download it and then use the link shown in the downloaded file. I did that, but it didn't help. When I posted that link into YouTube and later tried to open it, here’s what I saw (I couldn't copy it, but this is what it said: The link (long link) will not open a new tab. Are you sure you want to leave?

Hey Warren J., my initial understanding is that someone shared a video file using a Dropbox shared link, and you wish to upload this video file to YouTube.
Can you clarify if I'm correct?
If that's the case, then I meant that you'd need to download the file from the shared link, and then follow YouTube's steps in order to upload your video there.
