I have fallen foul of 

https://www.dropbox.com/help/16

For our advanced users

Dropbox Basic (free) users: *****Beginning October 3, 2016*****, you can no longer use shared links to render HTML content in a web
browser. If you created a website that directly displays HTML content from your Dropbox, it will no longer render in the browser.
The HTML content itself will still remain in your Dropbox and can be shared.

I suspect this type of use was causing too much traffic?

So I have now added all the generated docs files in /html to 

https://github.com/BoostGSoC15/fixed_point

so you can view the html docs by cloning the whole thing (or copy from Dropbox public link).

(I am trying to find a better way of doing this - suggestions welcome).
