Cascading Style Sheets (.CSS) files
I hope I'm placing this in the correct space.
Links that we generate for this update after 2023 - I can't seem to get the CSS link working from my dropbox.
link example is, and has to be in this format for the site I'm using it for - it goes to a profile and generates the css:
@import url("https://dl.dropbox.com/scl/fi/<some generated text>/<filename>.css?dl=0&raw=1");
I have tried to go through this community to search for updates but everything comes up from 2018-2021 etc.
Can someone help?
I'm also having trouble with the new set up for small videos/music links that are .mp3. I just need help with the css one right now 😞

Hi altie86,
It's a good decision to add "raw=1" param, but you don't need to keep "dl=0" param. Anyway... this is not the source of your issue.
You have done something else - dropped one param existing in the original form - rlkey. This param absence makes your link incorrect! That's where your issue comes from. 😉
Hope this helps.

- I'm trying to have my. Css file from drop box load to my profile on another site. The example is, it isn't loading.
Is there a proper way to the write the link? The link provided by drop box never works on the website. - I added all that stuff because I saw it in the solutions on here. Can you help? 🥺 I just want the link to be correct. So I make the Sci/ to s/, etc?
- I just tried that, and did that last night. It's not working.
[<style>@import url("https://dl.dropbox.com/scl/fi/lzcikexsb7k0sioa9ojip/supersonic.css?raw=1");</style>]
Something is still not loading. Yes, of course. 🙂 You didn't read my comments above. 🤷
Did you try to open that link through address bar in your browser? 🧐 Does it works? 🤷 Why do you expect to work in a tag?
- The <style> is because it's going to pull the Dropbox file and load directly as CSS/HTML.
I am not sure we're on the same page on solution on linking for css. OMG. Yes, I agree: we're NOT on the same page!
Your link is incorrect!!! I don't know how to say it and be clear to you. Don't you understand that you have it damaged? (again missing rlkey - why was you removing it) 🧐
By the way... you may expect another issue. Dropbox passes incorrect content type out and most browsers will complain. Better think for adding your tag using Javascript. In such a way you will workaround this intentionally included limitation.
- I didn't remove it, it didn't have one.
