We're unable to play back MP3 files we've downloaded via the mobile browser on iOS.
I have a client who is using Dropbox to share MP3 files of his radio show. When he shares an mp3 file (e.g. https://www.dropbox.com/s/a788cb7ogkmr3tf/blainesworld-20170927.mp3?dl=0 ) the mp3 will play back fine if opened in the Dropbox app. However, if the Dropbox app is not installed and the user selects "direct download"…

I've just seen the banner that says "The Photos page is changing on 30 June 2017 but your pictures will stay safe in your Dropbox account. Learn more".
