Dropbox issues?
Added 2025-08-04 16:07:33 +0000 UTCHi everyone! If you've had some links not work for me, can you comment on the statements below?
Can you please let me know if the issue is consistent on some files? Sending over a link that is currently having this issue would really help!
Also, is it possible to request from the recipients to try accessing the links from an incognito window? The fact the there is no issue in a mobile browser could indicate that this is not a link related issue.

Response from Dropbox if someone can try this! Please note that since the link still works as expected on our end, there should be an issue only when accessing the link through Patreon. To check that, can you please try accessing the link through Patreon on an incognito window and send me a screen recording of the Network tab of the Developer view when you perform this action in Chrome. First, you will need to follow the steps below to display the Network tab: Open Chrome. Click the three horizontal bars in the top right corner. Hover over More tools. Click Developer Tools. This will open a menu bar at the bottom of your chrome browser. Once you have that bar open at the bottom, select the Network tab. If you have questions about how to take a screen recording, please see the following: Windows 11 Learn how to take screenshots on Windows 11. Learn how to record your screen on Windows 11. Windows 10 or lower Learn how to take screenshots or screen recordings on Windows 10. MacOS Learn how to take screenshots or screen recordings on MacOS. Please expand it to full-screen, so that I have a better view of the issue. Then, please attempt to recreate the issue. Once the recording is complete, please attach it to this email. Finally, once you're done recording, please go to the Console tab, and take a screenshot of any text, especially any red text, and attach it to this email. I look forward to your response, and please let me know if you have any further questions.

This happened for TG2 EP7 as well: https://www.patreon.com/posts/genius-s2-ep7-135116964 Also just to clarify, this same problem occurs using an internet browser on mobile devices (or my tablet) as well. I was only able to view the video via the Patreon app.

To view this page, you must open it in a new window. So if I right click and "Inspect" the page I can just find and copy the dropbox link and it will work
