Getting 410 Error in rendering pictures on my website as background

I am using my pictures saved on Dropbox as a background picture of my website, however after a day the pictures are not visible anymore. I noticed that the direct link for the files are not directing me to the picture instead giving me a 410 Error. I already changed the "dl=0" to "raw=1" and it is still the same. It is just a challenge that i need to constantly change the links as i needed it permanent. Can you give me any suggestions or help on how i can achieve this?

    Hi romwel54 

    Simply put dont use Dropbox. Dropbox isnt a website hosting tool, it isnt designed or intended to do this. Dropbox have done lots in the past to STOP people using the system to host sites etc. and I suspect that is happening here.
