BUG: rendering PDF with ?raw=1 not showing in Chrome & Safari
To my surprise I noticed that it isn't possible to embed shared files anymore by using the ?raw=1 parameters as discussed in the Dropbox Help Center. For instance, I am not able to see the follow...
- We've had our engineers working on this and the good news is the problem has been fixed. Please try again and you should find that this functionality works correctly.

Same issue here: PDFs won't open (Safari and Firefox, both under current versions). Every single link I have is ...raw=1, so basically nothing works at the moment. Am I missing something...? They all simply stopped working all of a sudden—just now—and I really need all these files to be working properly.
- Update: everything works fine if I turn off my VPN. Not sure if that's what's supposed to happen: if people have a VPN they're not able to see raw=1 files...?

guilhermegarcia There's nothing about VPNs in general that should be affecting this. I just tried it, and raw=1 links are working properly for me in Chrome, Safari, and Firefox, all both on and off a VPN. That being the case, it sounds like there may be something about your VPN connection in particular that is interfering unfortunately.
Thanks, Greg! I actually found out what the problem was: my VPN (NordVPN) has this thing called "CyberSec"—it's an additional security feature. If you don't deactivate it, raw=1 files won't render.
