Dropbox links format

Help

What I’m trying to do

Trying to understand why the link to a DropBox file obtained from right click menu in Windows Explorer and insert between [[]] in a note throws a file name error but works fine with[[]] removed - I should say works as a DropBox share rather than an ‘export’ link.

Things I have tried

it works as a DropBox share rather share - with DropBox UI when clicked on - but not as a clean link to the file

Double square brackets [[]] are used for internal links.

If I’m understanding the goal correctly, try using the Markdown link format: [display text](link). e.g.

[display text](https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/arzbm/41-42-43.mp3?rlkey=4wifed)
