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" )

Hi Everybody,

 

I'm checking into confirm whether or not this is still affecting any users. From what I'm seeing, this was fixed for mac users with a macos update, but Windows users may still be affected. Rexxyboy was this issue resolved for you?

 

Feel free to reply here and let me know. If this issue is persisting, I will make sure it gets passed onto the right team for resolution.

 

Regards,

Ben
