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.

You have one very, very angry customer here!!

Please, please take this as a lesson to NOT use Dropbox for things its not intended for - i.e. a hosting service. It simply isnt designed for this and any hosting applications have almost worked 'by accident' rather than intentional. This is not the first, second or even third time this has happened and I can pretty much guarantee it will happen again.

Hm...🤔 Strange! In such a case there is some documentation, describing embedding, existing almost 'by accident' as seems. 😀
