I get an error every time I open another user's shared link.

Im trying to open a link that somebody shared with me. 

When I click on the link a new tab opens and I can see the page loading for a split second then it gives this error message:

Tell me what should I do to fix your website?

    Hey Aumen! Thanks for your post and the screenshot you’ve uploaded.

    Is this something you see across all browsers or in incognito mode?

    The owner of the shared link hasn't deleted the folder/file it links to in the meantime, correct?

    Let me know once you have more info.

      This is in default chrome, not incognito mode.

      The owner has not deleted the folder/files.

        Have you tried a different browser? Clearing cache and cookies often also works 

        That error is usually a localised one not one from Dropbox.
