Direct download using ?dl=1 returns html page
Hi,
I'm downloading a folder from dropbox using `curl` with the public share url, and the `dl=1` query parameter.
This used to work perfectly until this morning, when it started returning a html page instead. Is this change intentional, and if so, what would be the recommended way to directly download files then?
Thanks in advance

Thanks for the report! We'll check on this and follow up here.to add to this: the html file that is download (even with follow redirects ON with curl) will download the file if loaded into a browser...
Hi Greg,
Any updates on this issue? We really need this functionality.
Thanks in advance.
- Greg-DBI don't have an update on this yet. I'll follow up here once I do.
Also having this issue using Python urllib.urlretrieve to download the ZIP of a shared DropBox folder with ?dl=1 appended to the end of a shared url link. This has worked for years and started failing the end of last week. Zip file downloaded contains HTML page rather than ZIP files.
