Force render issues (raw=1) and shared links won't work for hosting.
images were perfect on all browsers until yesterday afternoon - what is the fix or is this a dropbox issue?

We are rolling out a fix for issues with raw=1 and dl=1 links that started recently. Please try again and let us know if it's still not working.

Not able to download the files from Shared Links.
Usually the shared link ends with dl=0 by changing it to dl=1 downloads the file directly, but from today its not downloading!!
I know many of them are facing this situation.
Anybody know what is the reason behind it ?

They have (on quite a few occasions now) done things which have stopped things rendering on websites and response has always been the same - Dropbox isnt a hosting platform, its a tool to collaborate and share

Good morning, I do agree with the statement that dropbox isn't a hosting platform. Then remove this https://help.dropbox.com/it-it/share/force-download page.
Really, if it is not intended to allow and manage rendering and download of contents (as a collaboration tool should do, on my personal point of view) then it is ok. I change platform and will not renew my subscription. i don't think Dropbox will care about it. But inform users that this is not allowed and remove pages that explain how to do this.Have a nice day 🙂
