Neither view nor edit links are clickable.

Any link I create is not clickable and I create links on the website, I found this same question elsewhere in the Help library but there was no solution included in the article. I'm positive I am...

Hi Bunzle, welcome to our Community!

 

When you say they aren't clickable, would you be able to let me know in regards to the steps you follow on your end in order to create the links? 

 

Have you tried using the shared link in an incognito tab on your browser, by any chance? 

 

Keep me posted, and we'll take it from there!

    I actually think I might have it fixed (?)  Would you mind trying this link

    (I'm a technical writer, and this is my portfolio of writing samples)

    Thanks for your help!

      Your link works fine, though I've removed it based on the Community guidelines (linked above).

       

      As far as your link being clickable or not, that has nothing to do with Dropbox. That would be controlled by whatever application or system you were adding the link to.

       

      If you're able to copy the link and paste it into the address bar of your browser to see the content, then the link is working. If you paste that link somewhere and it's not clickable, you need to look at where you're pasting it.

       

      A link (from any service) is just a line of text. It's the system that you paste it into that makes it clickable, assuming it's recognized as a valid URL.

      It's not working for me either while I'm signed in, but if I sign out it works fine. I'll let someone know.
