Force render issues (raw=1) and shared links won't work for hosting.
images were perfect on all browsers until yesterday afternoon - what is the fix or is this a dropbox issue?
We are rolling out a fix for issues with raw=1 and dl=1 links that started recently. Please try again and let us know if it's still not working.

Dropbox StaffHi Msloane2, thanks for bringing this to our attention.
Just for clarification, when you say 'images from the web', do you mean when you open the shared link from outside of the Wordpress site?
This will help me to assist further!
The Wordpress feature to upload images via link is working fine, as copying an image link from elsewhere on the internet and using that to upload an image is working as normal. It is just the Dropbox links that aren’t.
Copying the link directly from Dropbox and going to the url from outside of Wordpress brings the image up without an issue.

It sounds like the link itself is working normally in that case. This would be an issue with how Wordpress is processing the image link. Have you tried contacting them directly regarding this matter?
Hi,
I'm seeing a related problem. On an animation forum where I've shared hundreds of images for training and demonstration, I'm now seeing broken image links.
These images were shared from my Dropbox account using raw=1 in the link path, and this had worked perfectly for many years. The images broke sometime this morning.
I checked various browsers (Chrome, Safari, Firefox, and Edge,) and the images shared with Dropbox appear broken in all of them.
I had wondered if this was temporary server issue on Dropbox's end, but it's been like this all day.
Thanks in advance for any assistance!
