Shared links result in 400 error.
For some months now I am not able to share links since anyone who will open it will 9/10 times receive an error 400 message. Everytime I share these links I first test them in an incognito window and...
Thanks for your help.
The error looks like this.
I only share .mp3 or .wav files on dropbox to share music, so it's not really specific. I would say I've had this for a couple months now (2/3 months).

Dropbox StaffHi Venicious, are you certain that you're copying the full shared link generated by the Dropbox site to share with other users?
Are the shared links created with edit or read-only access?
Hi, I am certain I am copying the full link since I always test it first in an incognito window and it always works for me the first time. The people who receive the link will then tell me that it doesn't work for them. When I then check the link again, it also doesn't work for me anymore and I get the error mentioned above.
I use the yellow button to copy links : (This is read-only access)

Are they opening the links on a desktop machine, or a mobile device?
Do you know if anyone has any proxy, VPN, firewall, security software, or even ISP/router settings that could be restricting traffic to the following Dropbox domains?
Hey, the last time this happened on desktop, I am uncertain if it has also happened on mobile devices.
I do not know the second question but I personally don't think the problem is being caused by that. It is just so strange how links will work completely fine for me (even in incognito or different browsers), and sometimes even minutes later the link will give an error (without me making any changes to the file/link or whatever)
