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" )
Copy Dropbox link' feature is there, but now only copies the link once the file is uploaded to dropbox.
It's always been handy to have the link available immediately, but now i can't get the link until the upload has been completed. It's a huge time saver for me - I drag the large file to Dropbox, copy the link, paste it to an email or message, and move on to my next task. When it's finished uploading I hit send. Or, I send the link without the upload completed and send the email knowing it won't be read until the upload is completed
It's weird how much this is slowing me down!
Please restore this feature!
Thank you,
Jennifer (I pay for Dropbox)
