Direct link for file download
Hello All, I am new here and new to Dropbox integration. In my application we use chooser to select the files from end-user's dropbox account. When the user selects a file, the response contains a download url which is something like this - https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/1/view/uziu191sh0ilvkq/Get%20Started%20with%20Dropbox.pdf Now my problem is that, if this request is intercepted by someone and they change this url, it lets user to upload the the file from other source. This is wrong behaviour. I want to restrict user to upload files only from Dropbox. So wanted to know if the domain name used in above example ("dl.dropboxusercontent.com") will always be same irrespective of end-user's country. If this domain is same we can match this as a pattern in backend and discard all other requests. Has anyone faced this kind of problem before and any help on how to solve it would be helpful. Thank you in advance.
