Hi skepticalthinker ,
Jumping in here as a Product Manager for Dropbox Sharing to help out Hannah. Reading through your thread, this is very strange indeed.

They'll be able to go through your specific situation and troubleshoot your specific link. Sharing a View Link with access set to "Anyone" should allow anyone - signed in or not - to access a web based preview of your content, and then from there to take further collaborative action like downloading, asking to join the content, etc.

Absolutely. the ticket # is 23668995. We had some clients email us this morning that they are unable to open the links. Very frustrating. It's only been going on for the last 2-3 weeks. I'm not sure if some sort of update is causing issues or what.
