Image link on without sharing
I am making a webapp that lets user store, edit and view text files on their Dropbox account (from app folder). I would want to embedded images into that text, with images that are also saved on use...
The Dropbox API /2/sharing/create_shared_link_with_settings endpoint (or corresponding native method in an SDK) does offer an 'audience' setting of 'no_one', which does not grant additional access, so that only the account(s) that already otherwise have access to the file (such as the owner) would be able to access it.
Also, Dropbox does offer the ability to modify shared links for different behaviors, such as direct file data access, e.g., by using the raw=1 parameter, as documented here. Note that shared links are subject to bandwidth limits.
I just tried this out myself though and unfortunately it looks like this particular combination of settings doesn't work. I'll raise this with the team to see if this is something we can support.
Hi Greg
Could you please let me know once this problem has been resolved, or the likely timeframe for solving the issue?

Hi Greg,
has their been any information?
I have noticed, by changing the "www" in the URL to "dl" it works. But also I have read that these are link transformations from the early days and DP doesnt officially list it in the help center anymore but they are beeing supported FOR NOW.
I have thousands of DP links on my Wordpress website. Do I have to change every single link to "dl"? And if so, how long will this be a working solution?
Best Wishes
