Welcome back to our Community, aammash!
Which Dropbox platform are you using to generate your transfers? If you’re using the website or the mobile app, have you cleared their cache?
If yes, have you also cleared WhatsApp’s cache?
Do you use any other third-party apps for generating similar links? If yes, is the thumbnail not working only with Dropbox?
Let me know.

I noticed that from around the start of June, whenever I share my dropbox links through WhatsApp (either mobile or desktop) they no longer appear like they used to with thumbnail and title, a little detail that was extremely helpful when searching for a link or delivering to a client. Now, whenever I share a link, it only appears as an ugly generic link with a description of what Dropbox is as a service.

Hi eretaval, thanks for bringing this to our attention.
Do you get the same behavior when using another service, or only in Whatsapp?
Have you tried contacting them for assistance, since it's related to their program?
This will help me to assist further!
