Please don't block me from generating a link for a file that hasn't finished uploading

A new "feature" has been implemented where if I drop a new file in a DB folder, and then go to click on "Copy Dropbox Link", it simply won't perform the task until the file has finished uploading.  ...

    Hi everyone. We recently discovered a bug that caused this to break. It is now fixed. If you continue to have trouble copying a link to a file that is uploading/syncing please let us know. 

     

    It will be especially helpful if you can also tell us:

    * What version of Dropbox you're using: Dropbox Windows, Mac, or Web

    * The steps you're using to copy the link (e.g. right click, then choose "Copy Dropbox Link" )

Yes..this annoys me as well.. being able to generate a link while something is still being uploaded is absolutely necessary! You have my vote times 100!
