Dropbox URL copy suddenly stopped working, and fix (?) #2

Hi there. Came across this script some months ago, love it. It worked great. However noticed last week that it wasn't copying any URLs anymore, and I won't bore you with the numerous iterations of debugging I went through (I am NOT a programmer, but more a dog with a bone), but I think Dropbox may have changed their site, or what sits underneath. Maybe?

There is a line in the code that did not appear to obtain any value when run:
const imageLinks = document.querySelectorAll('a.dig-Link.sl-link--file[href*="dl=0"]');

I changed it to this, and it appeared to work:
const imageLinks = document.querySelectorAll('a.dig-Card-Link');

The change was based on what I could see when trawling through browser console and sources via "inspect" off the web page. As I said, not a propgrammer here, just trying to work it out.

Wondering if what I have done is accurate, incomplete, just a fluke, did Dropbox change something, etc etc.

Any advice appreciated.!
