Direct Link To Image or Embed Image - broken
Hello everyone I'm trying to Upload a Picture and create a direct link to embed it on a website.
I've done it before and normally the link looks like this:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/abc07de134fg78/NameOfThePicture.jpg?dl=0
It was possible to change this link into:
https://dl.dropboxusercontent/s/abc07de134fg78/NameOfThePicture.jpg?dl=0
and it was possible to embed it on a website.
When I try it again with an other Picture the link looks like:
https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/abcde9fghi7j7kl177m1n/NameOfNewPicture.jpg?dl=0&rlkey=abc5defghijklmnopr1dslo5z
This method does not work anymore.
Any Solutions?

Hi druck0162, thanks for bringing this to our attention.
In general, we don't recommend changing the URL for shared links directly to have them embedded on a site.
Could you try forcing the file to render by using this method?
Keep me updated with any progress!
Hi Jay,
even in this method the structure of the link is different.
As I said for this methods the link has to look like this:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/a1b2c3d4ef5gh6/beispiel.docx?dl=1but it looks like:
https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/a1b2c3d4ef5gh6/beispiel.docx?dl=0&rlkey=abc5defghijklmn- Jay
Thanks for the info. You can read up more on this change to the shared links from this thread.
