Dropbox StaffHey MRG Property - sorry to hear you're having issues with this.
Are you sharing the link with view-only or edit rights in the first place?
When you say that the people you're sending the link to are having issues with opening it, could you clarify if they're getting any particular error?
If so, I'd appreciate a screenshot too.
Also, are these people members of your team or do they have their own, individual Dropbox accounts?
Let us know more and we'll take it from there.

I believe view only rights.
These people are not members of the team and most do not have their own dropbox accounts.
I recently changed from a personal account to a business plus account. Previous it would work but now doesnt. It seems people have to download dropbox.

In that case, your collaborators should be able to by-pass the prompt to download the Dropbox app, Rory. Could you send us a screenshot of the message or the last screen they can get to?
