BUG - Direct link to files created via /media API call return a corrupt URL!

Thanks! Just adding ?raw=1 would do the same thing in the new format, since it already has parameters added with a ?. You should instead parse the URL in order to add a parameter.

Anyway, thanks for the new details. We're disabling this for you now and will investigate potential solutions.

Also, the links from /media weren't really meant for use in the browser. If you want /s links anyway though, you can use /shares instead, and those links respect the raw and dl parameters. Those aren't short-lived though. It sounds like what you ideally want is a way for the user of a web app to be able to download a file from the Dropbox account directly in their browser, without having to pass the data through the app's server. That's not really something the API currently solves well, but we'll consider that a request.
