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?

Suddenly it doesn't work again.. What's going on Dropbox??
The new url doesnt work but the old way is working(i have to xml files, one with old sharing format and the other one that has the new sharing format..
old: https://www.dropbox.com/s/random_string/test.xml?raw=1
new: https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/RANDOM_STRING/FILENAME.xml?rlkey=RANDOM_STRING_for_rlkey&raw=1
and i cannot create the old url format on the main xml(filename.xml) because its only giving me the new sharing format, or is it a way to create the "old" way?
Tested both url:s in chrome and edge got this result:
old: https://www.dropbox.com/s/random_string/test.xml?raw=1
will redirct to a longer url
https://uc9d29123.dl.dropboxusercontent.com/cd/0/inline/random_string/file#
Test with new sharing url gives the same result, it redirects but in the new redirected page its without the hastag after the text "file"..so something like this:
https://uc9d29123.dl.dropboxusercontent.com/cd/0/inline/random_string/file
Im not sure if that`s the case but thats the only difference that i can notice..
Just to see if the content in filename.xml is OK i copied all the content from main xml into into the old shared format test.xml, this one https://www.dropbox.com/s/random_string/test.xml?raw=1
it works fine from here, therefor nothing wrong in the content in the filename.xml.
Also tried to create a new one xml, gives me of course the new format, same error. New shared format doesnt work..
