The shared link URL is different on the website vs the URL from the Windows app

In website the url contains &st=xxxxxx so we can use the link with with dl.dropboxusercontent.com ending with ;raw=1

While the windows app's sharing link doesn't include the &st=xxxxxx hence chaging dl.dropboxusercontent.com ending with ;raw=1 doesn't work.

Hi @madnanbashir1, thanks for bringing this to our attention.

Could you clarify what you mean in relation to this matter? When rendering files on the site, you need to change dl=0 to raw=1, and it should render normally.

A sample shared link (with random letters so it doesn't load a real link) from your Windows machine, and from the site would help make this clearer for me.

This will help me to assist further!

Thank you.

While for same file dropbox website created this link

You see there is a missing &st=5wqe5hs3 in the windows app generated link

Thanks, I've amended the links so that they are no longer valid.

The &st=5wqe5hs3 section doesn't affect the overall shared link. Changing dl=0 to raw=1 displays the same file on both links on my end.

try by replacing dropbox with dl.dropboxusercontent and ameding it with raw=1 works for website generate link

But doesn't work for desktop app generated link

Thanks for the info, in order to look into this matter in more detail, I'd recommend contacting the support team directly for them to investigate further.

I don't know if you have been able to solve this but from what I can see, you have a semicolon (;) instead of ampersand (&)

rlkey=92314j0nq9fng;raw=1

when I would think it should be:

&raw=1
