Dropbox Product ManagerHi Здравко,
You are actually still able to download shared folders & files without logging in. Upon clicking 'download' you will see a 'Log in or sign up' modal appear, and at the bottom of that modal there is an option which reads 'Or continue with download only' (see attached screenshot). Let me know if you are not seeing this on your end!
Thanks,
Tom
Hi Thomas-DBX,
Thanks for your reply! I'm able to see this option (you talk about), but it doesn't explain the status 400. I didn't save screenshot at the time of my first post 😕, unfortunately. Anyway... as seems it was some glitch in Dropbox that's in the past already. In this context - when your team starts some rolling out, some more tests are always good idea to avoid such glitches! 😉 (I suppose some maintenance was around that time - not very well planned) Also, meaningless changes like the one to ask such things are... meaningless - if somebody want, the shared file/folder can always be added to recipient's account (as before). 🤷 In such a way just one more click becomes mandatory, but no any benefit as result of this.
Thank you again.
