Hi,

 

Same problem with my app, yesterday was working and now 

 

OpenURI::HTTPError - 403 Forbidden

 

the offending url is (i.e.):

 

https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/1/view/cr0c41lsk3fn103/development/facturas/2016100034_factura_ganador.pdf

 

In my case, is a Rails app and I´m using a gem called paperclip-dropbox (https://github.com/janko-m/paperclip-dropbox) to upload pdf files. The part of uploading pdf works fine but I can´t download them

 

Thanks for any help
