Hey,
I have a problem downloading complex files (photoshop/sketch) using dropbox api and a custom download function.
here is my code.

This code works for simple files like svg or text but the photoshop and sketch file appear corrupted.

It looks like jQuery unfortunately doesn't support downloading binary data like this:

I recommend using the official Dropbox API v2 JavaScript library instead:
