    <description>&lt;P&gt;Hello,&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;the issue here is that the header "content-type" seems broken on the webpage since this week.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;It is set to "application/binary" for all file types.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;This is the reason that the android dowloadmanager can't open any more downloaded files from shared dropbox links.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Below you will find an example get sent by Postman, where the content-type is clearly wrong.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;This was for an PDF but I realiced the same issue with a text file and an apk file.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Could you please inform your development that they broke something with their last update for the webpage last weekend?&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Regards&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;span class="lia-inline-image-display-wrapper lia-image-align-inline" image-alt="postman" style="width: 999px;"&gt;&lt;img src="https://www.dropboxforum.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/905i147F51E27A9ECB27/image-size/large?v=v2&amp;amp;px=999" role="button" title="dropbox3.png" alt="postman" /&gt;&lt;span class="lia-inline-image-caption" onclick="event.preventDefault();"&gt;postman&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Thanks! We'll look into it.&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;You may want to use `raw=1` instead of `dl=1` though, as `raw=1` is meant for displaying file content, and `dl=1` is only meant for downloading:&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;A href="https://www.dropbox.com/help/desktop-web/force-download" target="_blank"&gt;https://www.dropbox.com/help/desktop-web/force-download&lt;/A&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;The Content-Type is still as expected when using `raw=1`.&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>Saved me, thanks! We depended on accurate content-type too from dl=1 flag.</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;FYI, this is still broken, at least when trying to download PDF files on Android 8. PDFs shared via links with"dl=0" or "dl=1" download to the device but give a "can't open file" error when I try to open them. The also have a generic icon instead of a PDF icon in the file viewer, so I'm guessing Android is storing the Content-Type type of the download as metadata somewhere. (Emailing the downloaded file fixes it, I assume because the Gmail corrects the Content-Type in the process.)&lt;/P&gt;</description>
