My images don't load on mobile when I visit my website that uses dropbox direct photo links. The desktop site works fine.

Hope you don't mind I tag on, but if you can share it with me as well that'd be great. Been at the verge of ripping my hair out over the prospect of manually changing over 10,000 instances.

On a different note: I've spoken to a dev from another service I use to today (on an adjacent matter), and when I off-handedly mentioned this issue he noted that it probably has to do with Apple slowly discontinuing support on redirects (DB raw=1 links being redirected elements, so it seems to apply) due to security purposes and whatnot. Apparently it's been an inevitable consequence and mused that it's only a matter of time before everyone else follows suit...

I'm no programmer, so make of it what you will. I'm merely speculating. The point however seems to be that it might be time to find alternative solutions anyway, and might explain how painfully silent DB is on this issue - if they can't make apple bend on this, they have a lot of coding to do.
