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.

My www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/....?raw=1 urls seem to be working again for a few minutes now. Both images and PDF files.
Did Dropbox reverse the change?

    They started (HTML redirect fixed), but still not embeddable - CORS.

      Здравко Interesting, I don't have any CORS issues with ?raw=1 urls. I tested JPG, MP4, MP3 and PDF file formats embedded directly into a page using iFrame inChrome, Edge and FireFox.
      Perhaps you have a different use case?

        I just checked and there is still no any CORS related header declaration in the response! Such a link CANNOT be embedded without such a declaration - only can be fetched alone.
