Get file content url from dropboxusercontent domain with javascript
Hello, I'm encountering a problem while trying to obtain the content URL of a file. Specifically, when I use a shared link to fetch a file, I receive a 302 response but i encounter CORS issues. ...
Hi perco,
In cases like yours, an easy workaround would be to replace original share link domain, pointing to your music/song (www.dropbox.com) to dl.dropboxusercontent.com, without changing anything else. 😉 That's it.
Hope this helps.

perco, I want to mention something I skipped before; just for completeness.
Once you have gotten the file content using the mentioned call, you don't need to use any link at all, so no any CORS issues would take place. You can just use received Blob object to initialize your player. 😉
PS: The discussed CORS issues may be considered as Dropbox links bugs though. Let's hope this will be fixed - it's meaningless response CORS headers to differ based on the request form, I think.
