iViewer unable to download from Dropbox

Hi,

Is anyone else currently experiencing issues downloading projects from dropbox?

The link is working fine when copied into Safari.

Cheers

You need to use a direct download link.

The direct download look like : https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/s/xxxXXXXxxx.gui.zip

i use it in my own project it work's well

Yes the URL has to directly begin the download of the file when you open it in browser.
If it doesn't (and opens a webpage with dropbox details) then the link won't work for GUI download in iViewer.

Thanks All.

Spent the last 20 hours or so updating all my devices.

Now enabled local caching everywhere.

Cheers

Try again today, apparently it stopped yesterday (only in iOS)

Same problem here! Using the auto update module, debugger shows the following error:

AUTO UPDATE ERROR: GUI File URL returned HTTP Code 312.

Hi, I’m having troubles with download direct link in Dropbox. Does anyone could help me?

[Tulio]

Sorry to disappoint you guys, but the problem seams to be between Dropbox and iOS, it is not only with CF. 

A colleague found this on internet (at the moment without solution): https://www.dropboxforum.com/t5/Dropbox-files-folders/My-images-don-t-load-on-mobile/td-p/500870

I just tried yesterday with ios and CF and it work's well with direct link ! Your link should seem like this : https://dl.dropboxusercontent  is it ok ?

[Tulio]

At some point in the past I thought the link "https://dl.dropboxusercontent/..." stopped working. 

But now you are right, it works (again).  The guys in Dropbox forum found same solution for their problem with images.

When you ask to dropbox generate a link to download, it generates the link "https://www.dropbox.com/s/xxxxx" that we should change to dl.dropbox.com. This solution doesn't work anymore in iOS but your hint does, so for iOS we need to change to https://dl.dropboxusercontent/s/xxxx

problem solved by Dropbox.  The link "https://dl.dropbox.com/s/xxxxx" works again.
