    You need to contact the owner and ask them to provide a new link.

      It's not user problem because of it:

       

      We blocked this link to be safe
      We noticed something suspicious - like a lot of downloads in a day. Ask the owner to create a new link. Learn more

       

      It seems that is question to Dropbox, not to user.

        And Dropbox is telling you the solution right there; ask the owner to create a new link to the file.

         

        The fact is that the link was banned for some reason. It could have been a bandwidth overage on the owner's account, a problem with the file such as a DMCA complaint, etc. There are many reasons why a link can be banned.

         

        You need to contact the owner of the file.
