Found all my old Dropbox file links to be broken now that they made some strange change. The direct linking feature was one of my favorite things about Dropbox, so I am seriously looking for a solution right now.
Found this site that suggests a “raw=1” be added to the end of a link. Testing now.
This is the basic “Copy DropBox Link”:

Dropbox is still in the lead, but I am not happy about what they’ve done.
