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.

Not able to download the files from Shared Links.
Usually the shared link ends with dl=0 by changing it to dl=1 downloads the file directly, but from today its not downloading!!
I know many of them are facing this situation.
Anybody know what is the reason behind it ?

Are you accessing the link directly in a browser, or are you using it in a plugin or extension for some web page or other type of service (rather than directly clicking the link and downloading the file)?
Test the link in your browser. If the file downloads then the link is working as expected and you'll need to reach out to whatever plugin or service you're using the link with.
If the link doesn't work, provide the error message or take a screenshot of the page you get after clicking the link.
Hi,
Here I leave you a video, before with =1 the download started on the same screen now it takes you to another empty screen.
The issue is that Dropbox decided, for some reason, not to use HTTP redirection, the one used before, but HTML redirection. 🤷 Don't ask me why.
So this HTML should become loaded somewhere... one place is redirection of the current page another is new page. As seems they decided in favor of the second way. That's it.
You can try either different link reformatting (not just changing dl=0 to something else, but domain change instead - this as seems still works) or usage of temporary links (whenever possible).
Good luck.
