Please don't block me from generating a link for a file that hasn't finished uploading
A new "feature" has been implemented where if I drop a new file in a DB folder, and then go to click on "Copy Dropbox Link", it simply won't perform the task until the file has finished uploading.

Hi everyone. We recently discovered a bug that caused this to break. It is now fixed. If you continue to have trouble copying a link to a file that is uploading/syncing please let us know.
It will be especially helpful if you can also tell us:
* What version of Dropbox you're using: Dropbox Windows, Mac, or Web
* The steps you're using to copy the link (e.g. right click, then choose "Copy Dropbox Link" )

Yes..this annoys me as well.. being able to generate a link while something is still being uploaded is absolutely necessary! You have my vote times 100!

In past versions of Dropbox, it has been possible to copy a file into a Dropbox folder and, while it is uploading, right click and create a share link to prepare for sharing the file. In the current version (v125.4.3474), I am unable to create a share link until the file has completed uploading. Is this a bug or a feature that has been altered?

They've apparently messed with it and it's ruining my business.
PLEASE REINSTATE THIS FEATURE DROPBOX. IT WASN'T HURTING ANYONE.

Yup, it's a new update they actually purposefully implemented. Not a mistake believe it or not.
