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.
Hi
I use images from Dropbox to display images on websites. For this I use the public link such as:
https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/5x1t2ddk9wlhxz5naoscg/2204-01.jpeg?rlkey=m8zkxxnzge6s05rqo696m0jq8&raw=1
(ending dl=0 replaced by raw=1).
This no longer works. No image is displayed on the website.
If I add the address:
directly into the browser, the adress is redirected to
Why that? I think that the redirect is the reason why the image can no longer be displayed on the website where the image is integrated.
Any idea to solve this issue?
Just an FYI this only is affecting files later than June of 2023. All of my prior files will still load with raw=1
FWIW, I'm seeing the broken links with images shared in April. Some older images are still working, but I'm not sure when the cut-off date is yet, if there even is one.
I read elsewhere that the cutoff could be March, but there is no official confirmation from Dropbox about this issue. For now, I'm assuming no images are guaranteed to remain active.
Hopefully, Dropbox can clarify what's going on.
