I've no idea if these are "Dropbox links." Also, I'm using my home computer--is that a "public website"? I'm just using this Dropbox community thing.

Hey Abby8, sorry to jump in here.
If this link was sent to you by someone else, it's them that are having the problem.
Dropbox has some limitations regarding traffic on links, bandwidth used, etc., so if these limitations are exceeded, the links get "banned".
If someone else sent you this link originally, they'll need to contact us from their account, so we can check what the issue is.
