SOLVED | Novmeber's link has been RE-SENT! (issues with Error 404)

EDIT 2: Okay. I believe I found the core issue. It wasn't Dropbox, but Patreons Bulk messaging system. After analyzing the link I'm realizing that Patreon is changing certain symbols/letters in the link to different ones after I hit "send". Example: &, <, >, is turned into ";" "amp" when loaded in by the system. For some reason it's unable to load these symbols in correctly, which changes the link, and makes it unable to work correctly.

EDIT: I’ve updated the welcome notes with the newly generated link. A patron in the comments said that they got the error when opening the link on their phone, but that it worked on their desktop. For the time being, I reccomend trying to access the rewards on your computer and see if it works. There isn’t much I can do as it seems the issue lies with Dropbox’s services, but let me reiterate that if the issue persists I’ll find another way to give the rewards by the end of the month (Gumroad, google drive, mediafire downloads, etc).

It seems a lot of people are running into a page displaying "error 404" on Dropbox when they try to open the link. I've regenerated the link and re-sent it to everyone in hopes it might fix the problem. It seems people are still having it though, and I'm unsure what the cause is. The reason might be due to an issue on Dropbox's side, and it seems there isn't much choice but to wait it out. Hopefully everyone will be able to access the link soon!

If people are still having the same problem with the link towards the end of the month, I'll try to find another solution which will allow me to share the rewards.
