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" )
ok, i tried it again and it wasn't working for me. these are the steps i went through.
- downloaded a zipfile with 14 x 134mb audiofiles
- unpacked it and everything started syncing 1 by 1
- past the 15 secs, the files were 20% in the sync process
- i was able to copy the link from an unsynced file but not able to paste it.
- after the file was synced i was able to paste it.
* interesting thing is that i didn't had to go and copy the link again, i just couldn't paste it yet, until the file was synced.
anyway, still not fixed yet on my end..
Same!
Happy new year to everyone except the sad sod who thought removing this crucial feature was a step in the right direction. At this point WeTransfer is a better solution to Dropbox as this was literally the ONLY feature Dropbox was worth keeping around for. OneDrive and GDrive are both superior to it in every other way already.
How this isn't fixed yet is beyond me. I feel like we're screaming into the void here. Is anyone at Dropbox listening?
