My images don't load on mobile
My images don't load on mobile when I visit my website that uses dropbox direct photo links. The desktop site works fine.
Hi all,
As you may have seen, this issue is now resolved and a fix was rolled out earlier this week 🎉
Let us know if you have any questions.

The image files are all .jpg and I’m not getting any error messages. The images are simply not loading. Only the alt text is showing up. You can check for yourself by visiting my my homepage and scrolling all the way down.
hi guys, I have the same problem..everything was working fine until today morning. Im using an app on my TV that is pointing to my xml file in my dropbox account in the public folder. All i had done before was the url?raw=1 to make this work. But today it stopped working. when i copy this to chrome just to test the xml page will open but i see that the url is different, a bunch of letters. What have dropbox done? And why dont we get an info before this change? If i copy that long url to my app it works fine.
But also the icon pictures wont show because of the long url..this is just an exampel(url wont work its just as example).
<logo_30x30>https://www.dropbox.com/s/bcarf88t80k26x9/picture.png?raw=1</logo_30x30>
this url will become like..https://ucf1....dl.dropboxusercontent.com/cd/0/inline/B...file#..and wont show up on my app.
I hope dropbox can fix this..
- I have been experiencing the same on and off for the past 24 hours. I have also tried clearing cache etc but without any luck!
Jpeg's and Png's don't work
I am having exactly the same issue, specifically related to iOS (All browsers) and macOS (Safari Specifically). The hosted photos I use in my html code for my webpage (eBay) stopped displaying on these platforms a few days ago. They've been up for at least a year without issues and unless changes were made, are inputted correctly (https, raw=1).
This is a big concern for me. The images are both .jpg and .png format. Any ideas?
I just wanted to add that this is not limited to images. CSS being served via Dropbox is also not being rendered properly in Safari. It seems to be an issue of file mime types being incorrectly set. This issue just started on March 1st as well.
The console in Safari shows the following message when attempting to load CSS files via Dropbox:Did not parse stylesheet '[url]' because non CSS MIME types are not allowed in strict mode.Additionally, this is not just a mobile issue and occurs on desktop Safari as well. Does not occur in non-Safari browsers and persists in private windows.

Thanks again!Hi Lusil,
It is very difficult to find out who to contact on their website. I have tried and received this case number #12127515 and #12127503
I have problems with to force render a file in a browser.To bypass the preview page and allow your browser to directly render your files, use raw=1 as a query parameter in your URL. Adding raw=1 to a URL will cause an HTTP redirect.
As i mentioned earlier, it seems that dropbox made some changes regarding to force render a file in a browser. The url is changing to something else and my app cant open my xml therefor. Could you please change it back or send me instructions how i can have it as i had before?
