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.

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.
