How can I use Dropbox to host a custom RUST map file?
I would like to know how to host the .map file here for my RUST Game server?
I have followed the intructions to the letter and can't get the file to load.
some say dropbox doesn't work, some say ...
I am having the same problem too. I use scalacube also have you figured it out yet?

The issue is likely due to the fact that adding ?dl=1 to the end of a share link causes a redirect to a different URL. If your game server can't handle the redirect properly, you won't be able to host the file on Dropbox.
Also, keep in mind that Dropbox was not intended to host live game files like that. It's a file sync and collaboration service; not a file host. There are far better options out there for hosting files intended for game servers and other such applications.
