Super User IIAll links from your account show on that page. Rearranging files doesn't change anything - they still work.
If it isn't showing on links have you checked the other options (Files and Recents etc.)?
Yes, that link does not appear under any options yet it works when someone clicks on it. Here's the link

Thats because its not been shared as a link 🙂
You've created a shared folder that gives everybody read/write access to the whole thing. So when they add to their Dropbox if they delete/change anything it also changes on yours. You need to go to that folder and unshare it. You may be able to do it at https://www.dropbox.com/share/folders
I copied the link to that folder on dropbox.com and shared that link. "Who can access" shows "Only you" for that folder now. Pls call [removed per Community Guidelines] if you have other suggestions.

Sorry for jumping in, spencer2. Keep in mind that this is a public forum and it’s not allowed to post any personal info here (we’re also unable to call you, I’m afraid).
When a shared link is deleted, or the content it corresponds to, it should return an error.
If the shared link in question doesn't show up here, where all active links appear, and you haven't shared the content in question explicitly with other users, is it possible you have another Dropbox account (under a different email address) from which the link was shared?
