BUG: rendering PDF with ?raw=1 not showing in Chrome & Safari

I am getting the same error and additional errors; all our PDF documents that are using the public Dropbox link are having this problem.
- Failed to load 'https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/{REMOVED}.pdf' as a plugin, because the frame into which the plugin is loading is sandboxed.
- Uncaught DOMException: Failed to read the 'cookie' property from 'Document': The document is sandboxed and lacks the 'allow-same-origin' flag.

Same for me, issue resolved!!
We are having issues opening ?raw=1 links in Chrome.
This was working fine up until today.
If I copy the link to the file, then change ?dl=1 to ?raw=1 and copy & paste it into my navigation bar, it continuously loads the file, but never succeeds in rendering it. I asked another person in our office to test this and they can recreate this 100% of the time just like me.
It works in Safari and Firefox, just not in Chrome anymore.
