11 years agoFor the most part, the dl and raw parameters aren't meant for the /view links to begin with, since the /view links already return the content directly. Those parameters are really meant for www.dropbox.com/s/ which go to a preview page by default. I think the only difference is the Content-Disposition header, which isn't currently configurable with the new format. Is that behavior relevant in your app?
Ok, since the change we've enabled/disabled didn't affect the returned links themselves, just whether or not you get the new format, and since your link itself does work, it sounds like it was just something like what I described. That being the case, we're re-enabling this for your account. Please give it another try and let me know if you can reproduce it and how you do so. Thanks in advance!
