Sharing links in Excel spreadsheet - opens dropbox but not link

Hi I hope someone can help with this probably simple problem. I have an excel spreadsheet that I want to share links to documents with. I find my document in dropbox, right click, share link get the address and then post this into excel as a hyperlink. Once the hyperlink opens it opens my dropbox to a blank page not to the specified document. How to do do this properly?

    The problem is that I want a community of about 10 to access around 200+ files, some of which are zipped and contain up to 6 individual files. I understand about using drop box links rather than the document hyperlinks and it worked yesterday, but I am really confused because my colleague with whom i have collaborated says that he can access the files via the hyperlinks! Also, I suspect that I will have to unzip and get the drop box link for each separate document, probably around another 100 links or so. oh dear...
