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" )
"copy dropbox link" is available in the context menu for newly added files to my dropbox folders, but when that file hasn't yet been completely uploaded, the function does nothing at all.
Either make it unavailable altogether until a file is sync'd, or allow me to copy the predictable dropbox link in advance to the upload.
Sometimes I upload a large file and I just want the link NOW, and I trust the file will sync later.
I am not asking for a file that has not been uploaded to be available. It is completely obvious that this would be impossible. I am asking about the behavior of the feature of the context menu to be fixed as it's irrational now. Either make the function unavailable or predict the link (which is certainly possible) and copy it to the clipboard.
