Seeking advice from a team member about using direct image links
I'm testing using the shared link pf images (combined with the edited URL via vercel ) to share a dropbox'd file on a bbcode social media.
It seems to be working wonderfully and the idea of being able to update the file and have it update on my page without reuploading it to a third host like IMGBB, seems too good to be true!
Is there any caveat to using this? Is it against terms of service in any way?
I assume it is just inefficient enough that it's not likely to be abused like it was on discord haha. I will still use imgbb for misc coding images but for my client works, I hate having copies of them floating all over the place and possibly suffering compression; or being out of date because I cannot tinker with the html page every day.
I hoped for feedback before I updated my whole code to dropbox links, thank you. 💫

Welcome to the community Lunre!
This is not against the terms of service, however I would be mindful of the traffic that the file could possibly accrue. Excessive traffic could cause your links to be "temporarily paused" by Dropbox.
I suggestion reading this page to familiarize yourself with all of the rules, guidelines and recommendations around shared links.
