&raw=1 links no longer display on mobile devices since new year

Hello, Is dropbox no longer supporting &raw=1 files being displayed on external websites on mobile? It was working fine before new years. See here: https://www.arclab.space/a/0301-pdf-topo ...

The thing that dropbox seems to be messing up is the ability to open the file on android. 
That it doesnt display is normal - thats standard behaviour on android. But you can always open it in your native viewer when the file is hosted elsewhere. When hosted via dropbox, something is blocking the functionality.

I can't provide insight on what the requirements may be for that functionality to work on Android, but if you can share some information about what specifically seems to be the issue with how it's hosted on Dropbox I can request an update on our side.
