Force render issues (raw=1) and shared links won't work for hosting.

images were perfect on all browsers until yesterday afternoon - what is the fix or is this a dropbox issue?

    We are rolling out a fix for issues with raw=1 and dl=1 links that started recently. Please try again and let us know if it's still not working.

Sorry, sub-solar-studio, do you mean that now your links work as usual?

Hello, Hanna.

I have the same error. I have an anchor with this link to share https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fo/xxxx&dl=1. So when you click instead of doing a direct download it opens a new white tab and starts the download.
Whats happend? I need resolve asap!

Thanks

    Hi terryfri3nds, does this occur when viewing the link on an incognito/private browsing window in your browser?

    Hi @Jay, 

     

    Yes, it happens in all scenarios. I tried clear cache, private mode, in another browser.
