Dropbox Links still not working for some! (Patreon)
Content
I was hoping the issue with the dropbox links would get resolved eventually, but it seems like it's not. If I can't find a solution soon, I'll look for other methods of delivering the rewards.
The error often stems from the Patreon messaging system changing the end of the dropbox link after I send the message.
Current top solution:
One solution I've seen work is to delete the "amp;" in the end of the link. There may be one or two instances of "amp;" to look for in the link. Delete them all. Patreon is adding these after I send the message.
Other things you can try (I'll add more as I find them):
Use PC instead of Patreon's phone app: Some people get errors while accessing the links through the Patreon phone app, but not on PC. Personally, I've noticed that accessing Patreon via PC through Chrome doesn't put the "amp" in the dropbox links, but on the Patreon phone app, it does.
Try a different browser: Some browsers on PC are causing the links to not work, for some people. I use Chrome, but other browsers might work too, if you are having issues.
Try signing in/out of Dropbox before accessing link: This is an odd one, but if I remember correctly, some people are having trouble accessing the links on their phone while signed into dropbox on their phone. Might work for PC too, if you are having issues.
If you've found other solutions, please share with me, so we can solve this problem.
If none of those work, I'll email them to you!
If none of these work, please let me know. At the very least, I can send you the links through some other method, like email for example, at least until I sort this out.
Thanks and sorry for the annoying tech issues!
