You might see that the Dropbox Community team have been busy working on some major updates to the Community itself! So, here is some info on what’s changed, what’s staying the same and what you can expect from the Dropbox Community overall.

Sharing image on forum with ?raw=1
I used to be able to copy a link, then replace "?dl=0" (or whatever) with "?raw=1" and the link would work on web forums such as vbulletin. I tried it today and it no longer works, even though links I previously posted on the exact same forum still do. Did something change with respect to default permissions or something? The link works for me in a standalone browser tab, but not in the forum itself.
The link worked in various browsers and even on another forum I tested on. It turns out the forum in question was blocking due to image size. When I made it smaller, it started to work. The problem is solved.

Hey Charles M.33, thanks for posting on the Dropbox Community.
You can use raw=1 as a query parameter in your URL to directly render your files on your browser.
Having said that, could you let me know if:
- The link works on another browser?
- You've tried navigating to it from an incognito window?
- The file type that the shared link tries to render?
Keep me posted!

Glad to hear that the issue seems to be resolved now, Charles M.33 - great work with the troubleshooting!
If anything else comes up in the future, don't hesitate to get back to us.
In the meantime, have a lovely day ahead!
