Error with loading csv file from Dropbox shared link

Hi There,
I am getting this error while adding data from a csv file is hosted on dropbox. I only have latitude/longitude values in the csv file. Here is the error:

latitude, longitude
33.833283, -116.547039

The layer was not created because no locations could be found. Make sure your data has valid addresses or geographic coordinates (latitude/longitude).

If you did the "get a link" option of DropBox and tried to add this link to ArcGIS.com, it will not work. I tried this and the link provided is to a page where you can download the file, not to the actual data of the file. Through trial and error, I was able to copy the download link URL (right-click the download button) and add this to ArcGIS.com. The URL looked like this:

https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/s/xxxxxxxxxx/some.csv?token_hash=xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx=1

I don't know how long their security token is valid for, so it may work initially, but then not work later after the token expires (if it does).

Thanks,

Mike
