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" )
Looks like this problem has come back again to haunt us. This is a feature that has worked flawlessly for years, but in the past few years has been broken a few times before being fixed.
The correct behaviour is that I should be able to drop a file into my drop box and copy a link to its location before it's finished uploading. Now, when I right click and select "Copy Dropbox Link" I get an error that says "Couldn't copy link - Something went Wrong - We're working to fix it"
