Cascading Style Sheets (.CSS) files

I hope I'm placing this in the correct space. 

 

Links that we generate for this update after 2023 - I can't seem to get the CSS link working from my dropbox. 

 

link example is, and has to be in this format for the site I'm using it for - it goes to a profile and generates the css: 

@import url("https://dl.dropbox.com/scl/fi/<some generated text>/<filename>.css?dl=0&raw=1");

 

I have tried to go through this community to search for updates but everything comes up from 2018-2021 etc. 

 

Can someone help? 

 

I'm also having trouble with the new set up for small videos/music links that are .mp3. I just need help with the css one right now 😞

    Hi altie86,

    It's a good decision to add "raw=1" param, but you don't need to keep "dl=0" param. Anyway... this is not the source of your issue.

    You have done something else - dropped one param existing in the original form - rlkey. This param absence makes your link incorrect! That's where your issue comes from. 😉

    Hope this helps.

    Hey there altie86 - sorry to hear you're having issues with this.

     

    I'm not quite sure about the problem you're facing. Could you provide some additional information and/or screenshots to make sure we're on the same page?

     

    Thanks!

      I'm trying to have my. Css file from drop box load to my profile on another site. The example is, it isn't loading.

      Is there a proper way to the write the link? The link provided by drop box never works on the website.

        altie86, The solution is simple: Just don't change anything in the initially provided link other that replacing "dl=0" to "raw=1". NOTHING ELSE!!! That's it. 😉 Nothing more.

        Your equilibristics of params make the link invalid. 🤷
