Issues opening links with dl.dropboxusercontent.com?

Until Today, a link like below has been working, but is no longer doing so. Is this a temporary issue with Dropbox and dropboxusercontent.com or did something permanently change?

Please advise, we have thousands of people relying on this feature for loading video into players like Video JS.

Thank you!

Yes, it started working again yesterday afternoon. Any ideas what the issue was? This has happened multiple times lately.

Your link still works fine for me.

I've removed the link from your post to prevent any issues with bandwidth from repeated uses.

Working again now. Is there a status page to see if Dropbox is having issues?

Hey @eagledrop,

Here is the status page for Dropbox: https://status.dropbox.com/. There haven't been any incidents in August, but if you experience this issue again please let us know ASAP and we'll investigate further.

This issue has started again. Is it related to the incident listed on the status page?

It's not working. People keep reaching out reporting that links from dl.dropboxusercontent.com don't work right now. Any intel?

Hey @eagledrop! I just wanted to check in today and see if you, or your users, are still having issues with this.

Please let me know.

Happy to hear that! We had an incident yesterday, which may have affected this, as well.

If you encounter the same issue again though (since you mention this has happened multiple times already), don’t hesitate to give me a nudge.
