    We are rolling out a fix for issues with raw=1 and dl=1 links. Please try again and let us know if it's still not working.

Hi Hannah, update is off and done manually. I haven't update it sense i bought it πŸ˜….. As mentioned before it opens in webbrowser but it changes the url.. This didn't happen before.. It must be at Dropbox side..

It's been a long time since a change on the URLs of the shared links happened.

 

Can you take a look at this thread and the solution provided, to see if it helps?

    Hmm.. Weird, it has worked fine until this week.. And when i share and copy the url it does start like this.. https://www.dropbox.com/s
    The crypted filename/filename?dl=0

    I will try tomorrow with your suggestion.. I thought ? Raw=1 was the only change that was needed for render the shared link..

      https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/<token>/path.jpg?rlkey=<token>&raw=1

      So this one should work for me?

      Where token is crypted foldername, right?
