My images don't load on mobile when I visit my website that uses dropbox direct photo links. The desktop site works fine.
Hi, my hosted photos in a photography forum worked fine until yesterday. The photos don't show up anymore when I am using Safari. On a pc with IE everything works fine. Other members of the forum reported the same problem since yesterday.
Does anyone have a clue what is going on? Is it a dropbox problem or is it a Safari problem. The same problem happens also in other forums so it does not seem to be associated with the forum platform.
Thanks for your help.
Best regards,
Erik
I am having exactly the same issue, specifically related to iOS (All browsers) and macOS (Safari Specifically). The hosted photos I use in my html code for my webpage (eBay) stopped displaying on these platforms a few days ago. They've been up for at least a year without issues and unless changes were made, are inputted correctly (https, raw=1).
This is a big concern for me. The images are both .jpg and .png format. Any ideas?

I just wanted to add that this is not limited to images. CSS being served via Dropbox is also not being rendered properly in Safari. It seems to be an issue of file mime types being incorrectly set. This issue just started on March 1st as well.
The console in Safari shows the following message when attempting to load CSS files via Dropbox:
Did not parse stylesheet '[url]' because non CSS MIME types are not allowed in strict mode.
Additionally, this is not just a mobile issue and occurs on desktop Safari as well. Does not occur in non-Safari browsers and persists in private windows.

Hi Lusil,
It is very difficult to find out who to contact on their website. I have tried and received this case number #12127515 and #12127503
I have problems with to force render a file in a browser.
To bypass the preview page and allow your browser to directly render your files, use raw=1 as a query parameter in your URL. Adding raw=1 to a URL will cause an HTTP redirect.
As i mentioned earlier, it seems that dropbox made some changes regarding to force render a file in a browser. The url is changing to something else and my app cant open my xml therefor. Could you please change it back or send me instructions how i can have it as i had before?
