I store numerous photos in my public folder and inserted them on webpage. Now all of them are crossed out.
Their links starts with https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/
I used to inserted these images by 'copy public link' and attach link on image inesert function, then these photos will show up without any problem.
Now none of them shows properly. Even when I paste their link on a brower, it will show up that "https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/" this website is not certified and not allow me to continue viewing it.
On chrom, it says:
"Your connection is not private
Attackers might be trying to steal your information from dl.dropboxusercontent.com (for example, passwords, messages, or credit cards). NET::ERR_CERT_COMMON_NAME_INVALID
Automatically report details of possible security incidents to Google. Privacy policy"
On Microsoft Edge, it says:
"Certificate error: Navigation blocked
There’s a problem with this website’s security certificate
This might mean that someone’s trying to fool you or steal any info you send to the server. You should close this site immediately."
Could some one in the Dropbox team pass on this message and reinstate the certification?
Thank you very much.

Hi, I just found out that the public link of images in public folders stop working yesterday.
The public link start with: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/
All images I inserted on the webpages are using public links provided by dropbox and now all of them are crossed out.
If I paste the link on google chrome then click 'enter', it will show a message as below:
Your connection is not private
Attackers might be trying to steal your information from dl.dropboxusercontent.com (for example, passwords, messages, or credit cards).
NET::ERR_CERT_COMMON_NAME_INVALID
Automatically report details of possible security incidents to Google. Privacy policy
Or on Microsoft Edge:
Certificate error: Navigation blocked
There’s a problem with this website’s security certificate
This might mean that someone’s trying to fool you or steal any info you send to the server. You should close this site immediately.
Thank you very much!
