View, download, and export
Need support with viewing, downloading, and exporting files and folders from your Dropbox account? Find help from the Dropbox Community.
Hello. My question concerns my recent issue with file sharing. Usually, my links were generated in this way: 'https://www.dropbox.com/s/'. However, lately, every file is being generated in this way: 'https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/'. Do you know a way to restore the old way of generating links? I just need old way of links, because game can't read new links

Hi, what about the dl=0 vs dl=0key.... I need to be able to replace with raw=1
Hi @caitycordova! You should be able to continue using dl=1 or raw=1 by changing the link in the following way:
Default shared link - dropbox.com/scl/fi/<token>/path.jpg?dl=0&rlkey=<token>
Download link - dropbox.com/scl/fi/<token>/path.jpg?dl=1&rlkey=<token>
Raw link - dropbox.com/scl/fi/<token>/path.jpg?raw=1&rlkey=<token>
Many thanks
For the record .
I am trying to rendering a .jpg file on the Geocaching.com site.
The second link works ok dl=1
The third link does not work raw = 1
Thankfully all existing link stay as /s/ so my 300+ images will still work OK.
Please also fix for .zip file type, it had worked fine for /s/ link
I tried and the website im providing the links to is not accepting them 😞
Hi everyone,
As an update on the dropboxusercontent issue, the fix is now available. For your shared links that look like "www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/...", you should now be able to generate a direct download of the content using either "dl.dropbox.com/scl/fi/..." or "dl.dropboxusercontent.com/scl/fi/..."
Thanks again for the feedback in this post!

No exactly. The link isn't direct yet; there is still one redirection! One is less than two, but... redirection is still needed. 👈
Hi, I can confirm that replacing the domain with dl.dropbox.com or dl.dropboxusercontent.com does not (yet?) work for me (.png files).
I can confirm that both the "dl.dropbox.com/....." and the "dl.dropboxusercontent.com/...." method work great for me using .jpg file. Thanks for the quick work on getting a fix out!
I can also confirm that both the "dl.dropbox.com/....." and the "dl.dropboxusercontent.com/...." method work for me using .png files that have the new "/scl/" style link. The modified links, once again, work just like the old "dl.dropboxusercontent" method worked on the old "/s/" style links.
