Dropbox file links no longer working for modpacks

[Mick_Mack]

I have always used dropbox for my modpacks, never run into any issues with it until recent. I tried to update one of my modpacks and used dropbox like usual and now all of a sudden it says the link is invalid so I put the original link back in and when I clicked update it also said link is invalid even though that was the link that was used before I tried to update. Now none of my modpacks are working from my dropbox link.

Before you suggest anything here is what I have found so far:

-NO I am not past my bandwidth limit on dropbox

-YES I already tried these variations for the link:

-YES I am 100% sure the links were working before I attempted to update as someone in my household deleted and reinstalled the modpack as a test and it worked fine a few days ago

I tried to send a help request but when I pressed send it says  There was an error processing your request. Please try again later and this has been going on all week. If I cannot get this working I would love suggestions on other plateforms I can make a customer modpack available as I want to make a server for the TrollzCraftPlus modpack.

Error (429)

This account's links are generating too much traffic and have been temporarily disabled!

The issue is not the dropbox usage, trust me I am not over my limit, a previous modpack had just as much traffic and it never caused issues, the modpack in question has had the same traffic for the past week or so. The issue is when I update my file in technic or try to use a previously working link this is the error I get when I choose "update modpack" in the edit modpack area.

"The modpack location you entered is not a valid location"

Technic will report the invalid location error if dropbox is reporting too much usage. They did the same to me, and my little pack had zero traffic for over a month.
