CORs error on forced download links
I am trying to request an obj file from a publicly shared link.
The link is "https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/xh3vmyt9d74cl5cbhqgpm/Antigen.obj?rlkey=b4zcediso03wiuc96w3agm6rg&dl=1"
Which successfully downloads if you go directly to it, but when I try to load it in my site, I get this error:
`Access to fetch at 'https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/xh3vmyt9d74cl5cbhqgpm/Antigen.obj?rlkey=b4zcediso03wiuc96w3agm6rg&dl=1' from origin 'https://simularium.allencell.org' has been blocked by CORS policy: No 'Access-Control-Allow-Origin' header is present on the requested resource. If an opaque response serves your needs, set the request's mode to 'no-cors' to fetch the resource with CORS disabled.`
I am using the THREE.js OBJLoader
This workflow used to work for us. Has something changed?

Hey Iainmcc, thanks for letting us know about this.
Have you checked if the application is running on your computer? Does it sync as normal?
What's the sync status and version of the app, when you hover your mouse over the Dropbox icon in your system tray?
Lastly, do you perhaps have any third party file browsers?
Let me know what you find.

The application is running and syncs as normal.
The version is 147.3.4786, and says it's up to date.
I don't have any third party browsers, just Windows Explorer.

Hi Iainmcc, sorry to jump in here!
It sounds as if you're using the Beta version of our app. Can you access your account's settings on the Dropbox website and turn Early releases off?
After that, please re-install one of the stable builds of the Dropbox application.
Let me know how that goes.
