Is it possible to view the file in full screen via shared link?

Hey Guys

 

I have a project for the PS3 console

 

I need to have an image that opens in full screen, that i can update it without changing its link

 

Since you guys knows the ps3 browser is very old so the only file host server that works on it is DROPBOX YAY

 

so i dropped the image file on my dropbox account

 

https://www.dropbox.com/s/6ys0vjzyxye3mhs/Current%20Version.png?dl=0

 

and when the ps3 opens it, it asks for log in, it can be ignored but is not the way i want.

 

So i realized that removing the ?dl=0 it opens the image directly

 

But the problem is that it opens a small image, and not centered

 

so i'm seeking a way to open it on full screen, any help?

  • Hi LuanTeles, thanks for posting today!

     

    You can preview the shared link without the Dropbox prompts around it by changing the dl=0 to raw=1. 

     

    This will force the file to preview as the image itself on the site. As to whether or not it will appear fullscreen depends on how your browser processes the image.

     

    Hope this helps!
