Force render issues (raw=1) and shared links won't work for hosting.

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 

It works, thanks!

However, I'll wait a couple days to see if this gets fixed, I have more than 500 .mp3 files and changing links one by one would be too time consuming.

Same here

Hello. I have the same problem. All links changed their behavior from one moment to the next.

Look at this example: https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/su95ust5cesfgavoz8d2j/15-essmov-polt-womb-250324.zip?rlkey=mh7nwgqf2o33u27adz7vmj1bk&st=jgddg5es&dl=1


even dom dl=1 it redirects to a blank dropbox page.

It downloads but redirects to a blank page.

I've already tested it on several browsers, including in anonymous mode.

same issue here. when using the "raw=1" link, picture don't show in my obsidian notes, before is working fine.

Same here ....

I have found a link generator that creates links so that they can now be played. it's just a shame i now have to spend several days changing all the links

Im wondering, (again sorry if super noob question) but I managed to video work embedded. Than I copied the link from dropbox and it stopped working (missing file error) Is this possible that every time I generate link or copy link from dropbox its somehow changing (hence video missing info) Are some link generated temporarily rather than as a main link and unchanged?
