I have a file on Dropbox below and when I change the link to dl.dropboxusercontent.com it doesn't work. Are there other formats for file sharing links?

The dl.dropboxusercontent.com isn't meant to be used for previewing links directly, the raw=1 method is the only official way that files could be previewed.

If Shopify is unable to use the raw=1 link, you could try contacting them directly to see if they can allow this on their site.

Hi @timelesstrials, thanks for messaging the Community!

In general, we don't recommend using this method to preview files on the site.

Instead, you can change the shared link dl=0 to raw=1 for the file to preview.

If you need any more details, feel free to message back!

I tried changing to raw=1 but it still doesn't work. dl.dropboxusercontent.com is the only way Shopify will accept Dropbox links for image transfer. Not sure why this link structure is not working.
