No exactly. The link isn't direct yet; there is still one redirection! One is less than two, but... redirection is still needed. 👈

Hi, I can confirm that replacing the domain with dl.dropbox.com or dl.dropboxusercontent.com does not (yet?) work for me (.png files).

I can confirm that both the "dl.dropbox.com/....."    and the "dl.dropboxusercontent.com/...." method work great for me using .jpg file.  Thanks for the quick work on getting a fix out!

I can also confirm that both the "dl.dropbox.com/....."    and the "dl.dropboxusercontent.com/...." method work for me using .png files that have the new "/scl/" style link. The modified links, once again, work just like the old "dl.dropboxusercontent" method worked on the old "/s/" style links.

.mp3 audio files also working by changing "www." by "dl." and adding all the link code. Solved

Hi Dropbox Team,

When we generate the share URL using Dropbox SDK (objective-c) that share URL is still not accessible via dl.dropbox.com or dl.dropboxusercontent.com. Previously share URL generated using Dropbox SDK was accessible via dl.dropbox.com. However when we generate the URL for the same file from dropbox.com then it is accessible via dl.dropbox.com.

.zip file still doesn't work

Now dl.dropboxusercontent.com is working for my .png files as well, I had to delete and generate new share links.

Hi,

https://dl.dropbox.com/scl/fi/xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/Image1.jpg?dl=0&rlkey=yyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy

Is it the token "yyyyyy.." a secret?

Or can I include it when I have to use the image on [IMG] .. [/IMG] tags on various forums?

Thanks!

Hi Matthew. This is great as a temporary fix but what is the long term solution? We attach urls for art files that go with orders to our print vendors. Asking them to manually change each link every time is not a good permanent solution. Please tell me you are working on a solution that creates a link to a direct download (like it did before)? If not, I am going to ask the integration platform I use (Order Desk) to discontinue Dropbox and use a different file sharing service. This has interrupted our order flow, causing late orders, lost productivity, and unhappy customers.

For images, you can use:

https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/scl/fi/blablabla/image.jpg?dl=0&rlkey=blablabla&raw=1

I used this site https://www.redirect-checker.org/index.php to check the problem with .zip file

With a .zip file from WP https://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/wpc-variations-radio-buttons.zip -> it's okay and returns 200 OK. But with the new link (/scl/) for .zip file on Dropbox, it returns 503 Service Unavailable

Thanks Matthew, this has worked for us. It seems simple enough... I just hope this is a permanent solution for us.

I can't see the entire path link name that you copied in for me, so I can't tell how to change other files. What exactly did you do to the file name I put into the message. Please spell it out more.

I am receiving an error trying to download a .tmb file.  It was working 2 days ago just fine and for a number of years before this.

As of this morning, it's adding the /scl/fi to the file with a rlkey syntax, where it used to be /s without a rlkey parameter.  I tried removing dl=1 with raw=1 but that does not work.

How can I set up direct downloads?

Refer to the post directly above yours, from JasonSilverDBX.

This is not working for me. I am using a third party app and previously would simply change the url from "www.dropbox........mp4dl=0" to "dl.dropbox.....mp4"

Now when I do it nothing works.

It doesn't work
