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.
