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.

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.
Yes there is a problem again for safari and google. [img] raw=1 [/img] no longer auto renders pics any more. We had no issue for months and now customers and forums wont auto render pics via Dropbox files???? We need to get this again worked out.
Happened to me a week ago in some browsers but not others. The redirect is the root cause.
To fix, change the www at the start of the link to dl.
For example: www.dropbox…. becomes dl.dropbox…
Yup adding the “dl” and removing the “www” worked. Your a rock star👍
Wonder why this just started?? I will inform my staff of this change.
- I’m not sure Dropbox changed anything this time, but the previous www links always redirected to the dl links.
I suspect some browsers have started enforcing tighter security on https redirects.
