dl.dropboxusercontent.com link not working
I have a file on Dropbox below and when I change the link to dl.dropboxusercontent.com it doesn't work. Are there other formats for file sharing links?

- 4 years agoThe dl.dropboxusercontent.com isn't meant to be used for previewing links directly, the raw=1 method is the only official way that files could be previewed.
If Shopify is unable to use the raw=1 link, you could try contacting them directly to see if they can allow this on their site.

I tried changing to raw=1 but it still doesn't work. dl.dropboxusercontent.com is the only way Shopify will accept Dropbox links for image transfer. Not sure why this link structure is not working.
