Copying a pdf link and adding raw=1
We have a pdf in our dropbox that when I hover over it the URL ends in role=personal. I know I am supposed to see something like dl=0 at the end and change that to raw=1 so that my document auto-opens without Dropbox windows.
Not seeing the dl=0 at the end has me confused. Not sure what to change to raw=0. Help GREATLY appreciated!

Hello there PortJobs, I hope you're well today!
It sounds like you might be looking at and copying the URL for the file located in your account, rather than a shared link for the file (which would show the dl=0 at the end).
Can you clarify for me if you're using these steps to create a shared link, or copy if you have an existing link already?
Let me know - thanks!

Thank you, Daphne, because of your post I've learned that my "personal" account doesn't have a share link option that ends in dl=0 like I need. It says I need to upgrade. Prior to covid we had the dl=0 option. I'm trying to find out more on that now.
