Direct Link To Image or Embed Image - broken
Hello everyone I'm trying to Upload a Picture and create a direct link to embed it on a website. I've done it before and normally the link looks like this: https://www.dropbox.com/s/abc07de134f...

3 years agoHi druck0162, thanks for bringing this to our attention.
In general, we don't recommend changing the URL for shared links directly to have them embedded on a site.
Could you try forcing the file to render by using this method?
Keep me updated with any progress!
