Re: Why does my shared link preview like "scl" instead of "s"? Can I change that?

The new links to embed an audio file in an html player don't work.

Great news!  Thanks!

Good to hear, thank you!

Hi, what about the dl=0 vs dl=0key....  I need to be able to replace with raw=1 

Hi caitycordova! You should be able to continue using dl=1 or raw=1 by changing the link in the following way:

Default shared link - dropbox.com/scl/fi/<token>/path.jpg?dl=0&rlkey=<token>

Download link - dropbox.com/scl/fi/<token>/path.jpg?dl=1&rlkey=<token>

Raw link - dropbox.com/scl/fi/<token>/path.jpg?raw=1&rlkey=<token>

Many thanks 
For the record .

I am trying to rendering a .jpg file on the Geocaching.com site.

The second link works ok   dl=1

The third link does not work raw = 1

Thankfully all existing link stay as /s/ so my 300+ images will still work OK.

Please also fix for .zip file type, it had worked fine for /s/ link

I tried and the website im providing the links to is not accepting them 😞

Hi everyone,

As an update on the dropboxusercontent issue, the fix is now available. For your shared links that look like "www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/...",  you should now be able to generate a direct download of the content using either "dl.dropbox.com/scl/fi/..." or "dl.dropboxusercontent.com/scl/fi/..."

Thanks again for the feedback in this post!

No exactly. The link isn't direct yet; there is still one redirection! One is less than two, but... redirection is still needed. 👈

Hi, I can confirm that replacing the domain with dl.dropbox.com or dl.dropboxusercontent.com does not (yet?) work for me (.png files).

I can confirm that both the "dl.dropbox.com/....."    and the "dl.dropboxusercontent.com/...." method work great for me using .jpg file.  Thanks for the quick work on getting a fix out!

I can also confirm that both the "dl.dropbox.com/....."    and the "dl.dropboxusercontent.com/...." method work for me using .png files that have the new "/scl/" style link. The modified links, once again, work just like the old "dl.dropboxusercontent" method worked on the old "/s/" style links.

.mp3 audio files also working by changing "www." by "dl." and adding all the link code. Solved

Hi Dropbox Team,

When we generate the share URL using Dropbox SDK (objective-c) that share URL is still not accessible via dl.dropbox.com or dl.dropboxusercontent.com. Previously share URL generated using Dropbox SDK was accessible via dl.dropbox.com. However when we generate the URL for the same file from dropbox.com then it is accessible via dl.dropbox.com.

.zip file still doesn't work

Now dl.dropboxusercontent.com is working for my .png files as well, I had to delete and generate new share links.

Hi,

https://dl.dropbox.com/scl/fi/xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/Image1.jpg?dl=0&rlkey=yyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy

Is it the token "yyyyyy.." a secret?

Or can I include it when I have to use the image on [IMG] .. [/IMG] tags on various forums?

Thanks!

Hi Matthew. This is great as a temporary fix but what is the long term solution? We attach urls for art files that go with orders to our print vendors. Asking them to manually change each link every time is not a good permanent solution. Please tell me you are working on a solution that creates a link to a direct download (like it did before)? If not, I am going to ask the integration platform I use (Order Desk) to discontinue Dropbox and use a different file sharing service. This has interrupted our order flow, causing late orders, lost productivity, and unhappy customers.

For images, you can use:

https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/scl/fi/blablabla/image.jpg?dl=0&rlkey=blablabla&raw=1

I used this site https://www.redirect-checker.org/index.php to check the problem with .zip file

With a .zip file from WP https://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/wpc-variations-radio-buttons.zip -> it's okay and returns 200 OK. But with the new link (/scl/) for .zip file on Dropbox, it returns 503 Service Unavailable
