This is really unfortunate.  The lengths of your hyperlinks have recently increased dramatically.  This is very unfortunate as I build QR codes to them.  With the change in link length, the QR codes are not easily recognized by phone cameras.  I link to hundreds of documents and cannot reasonably run them all through 3rd party link shorteners.  I've used/paid for dropbox for 12 years.  This could be a dealbreaker.  Please consider a solution.  Maybe your own tinyurl tool or something.

Dropbox had their own link shortening service at one time, using the db.tt domain, but they discontinued it long ago.
