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.

Hello Dropbox Community,
I'm encountering an issue with my Dropbox links that should directly initiate downloads. Despite following the guidance on forcing downloads as outlined here: https://help.dropbox.com/pt-br/share/force-download
Force a file to download and using the dl=1 parameter, the downloads are not starting as expected.
Instead of triggering an immediate download, clicking on the link directs to a blank Dropbox page, and only then the download begins. I have tested this behavior across multiple browsers and also in incognito mode, but the issue persists.
To better illustrate the problem, I have recorded a short video demonstrating the behavior, which can be viewed here:
Any guidance or assistance you could provide would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for your help!
Best regards,
Thiago

Hello,
All my Dropbox direct download links ending in (dl=1) no longer automatically download and instead lead to a blank screen.
Previously, the download would start on the same screen.
Is anyone else experiencing the same issue? Please help!
