embedding dropbox ss

Recommended Posts

hi,

of course you know about how is a dropbox ss link, it's like this:
https://www.dropbox.com/x/yyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy/Screenshot.date.time.png?dl=0
 

You also already know that in order to embedd the ss into a forum board you have to edit the link like this:
https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/x/yyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy/Screenshot.date.time.png?dl=0

 

so I'm just wondering if someone can make this become faster.
I mean: I copy the link and the forum automatically edit the first part of the link only, substituting https://www.dropbox.com with https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com
is it possible?

As you already found out,

If you change the ?dl= parameter in Dropbox links to =1, the person wanting to view or download (what "dl" stands for in this case) doesn't have to go through Dropbox's web site, but instead the download happens immediately.

Also, that way the forum software can embed the image automatically.

 

Posting this here so others with the same question can find the answer, too.
