Why can't we shorten shared link URLs on Dropbox?
The email in question...
I'm sending a link to a client and the link is longer than the email itself. It looks so unprofessional to the extent that it looks like spam. Yes I could hide the link...

Dropbox Product ManagerHi Zao, thank you for sharing your request and feedback! We’ve passed it on to the team and are actively working on getting your request prioritized. Do you also have a need for branded links, or would a simple shortened URL be sufficient for your use case?
Hey. I dont think it's so much a need, more of a service that is already offered by others. I'm wondering why it isn't offered by Dropbox? In the case of transferring links to different platforms, a shorter link that allows it to be typed would suffice. I'm sure there is certainly a target market out there for custom links though.
Yes please. A feature for shortened URL is greatly needed
