Direct download using android java
Until recently my android app was able to download txt files from my dropbox account using this
dl.dropboxusercontent.com/s/bbbejnmpch8fve1/lastsequence.txt?dl=0
However I now get java.io.FileNotFoundException
If I log in using a web browser I can see the file is still there and can be download via the browser fine.
What has changes that is stopping the above url from fetching the file. Perhaps the service has changed.
I have the basic free account which has served me well since 2016 for this function.
I am not using the API but android java Http and was getting the contents from the returned resonse using getinputstream. How it returns file not found.
Any help or advice would be helpful, thanks.

No, unfortunately I don't have information on the timeline for this.
Yes I can confirm it is now working again. Excellent quick fix thanks.
Would you happen to know how long it has been broken?- Greg-DB
