Yes, that should be correct. Leave the formula exactly as you have it there.
(Apologies, my note in the previous comment was incorrect - but I think you worked that out! I’ve edited so that it’s now correct for future reference)

I did it! But the problem is that the url I get is not a direct link (I used to upload to Webflow) and it is requested to be a direct link image and thats not… any thoughts?
Great!
Could you explain a little more of what you mean when you say that it’s not a direct link?
YEs, of course, WEbflow keeps asking me for a direct link image.
For example this image called: SESGO DE RIESGO CERO… have two image links:
Share link: Dropbox - sesgo-de-riesgo-cero.jpg - Simplify your life
Note that the last is ending in /file; thats is a direct link.
I can finally use it in Zapier, but I want to know if I can do it in Make because I want to purchase a license.
I leave you a screenshot of the process in Zapier.
Its called Direct Media Link
Did you try using the URL that the scenario generated?
Or are you asking only because the URL looks different?
I’m fairly sure that the dl.dropboxusercontent.com
URL is just the older way that Dropbox used for download URLs. Nowadays they use the ?dl=1
format you’ll see at the end of the URL that’s generated.
If that works, there’s two other things you might like to think about to streamline your workflow:
I don’t know, Where can I get that Direct Media Link in Make?
That’s what the Dropbox Create/Update a Share Link
module delivers as the Download Url
output field. That’s what you’re using as the Value
in your Update a Cell
module.
You’ll see that the Download Url
that’s created and placed in your Sheet ends with ?dl=1
… that matches the advice that Dropbox gives on generating a direct download link.
Have you tried using that URL with Webflow?
YEs and it shows that its not a direct image link.
That the only problem I got, because I need that to purchase the plan, its urgent and I don’t know how to get it …
Could you show me a screenshot of the exact error or message that you get?
I’ve done some more digging, and it seems that although the ?dl=1
URL suffix will allow you to download a file, it isn’t actually a direct link to the file itself - it includes some web redirects.
It looks like there’s two strategies for resolving this (neither of which I’ve tried, and unfortunately won’t have time to try today):
Download Url
to change the “www.dropbox.com” part to “dl.dropboxusercontent.com”Make an API Call
to call a specific Dropbox API endpoint that generates a direct link (which is probably the same end result as #1 above)Option 2 is more robust, but a little tricky for beginners.
If you want to try option 1, you may be able to get it to work by changing 5.Download Url
in the Sheets Update a Cell
module to the following:
replace(5.Download Url ; www.dropbox.com ; dl.dropboxusercontent.com)
