404 error message on Facebook post

I have a Dropbox Basic (free) account. I'm trying to post a Dropbox link on a Facebook group. The link is to a folder containing 205 photos totaling 836 MB. Before even posting, Dropbox presented a 404 Error message in the text I was about to post. I'm not attempting to sell the images. Why am I getting the 404 Error?

    Hey AlanFH, sorry to hear about this.

     

    Do your shared links work normally when you copy and paste them into a web browser instead of the Facebook group you mentioned?

     

    Let me know and we'll take it from there.

      Yes, the same link works for a friend I've shared it with, as well as from a private browsing session I created.

       

      Thank you for looking into this.

        I tried posting the link again, and it successfully posted. So this one can be closed as unreproduceable.
