Dropbox Short Link

Link cloaking allows you to replace long URLs with shorter, cleaner ones that appear in the browser’s address bar.

For instance, “https://www.dropbox.com/s/video fehedndqwwwrwhiedwwqsqqswwfe.mp3” could be transformed into “https://yourdomain.com/video” using tools like Shortifyme.com.

Masking can help hide important parts of links, such as UTM parameters or affiliate codes.

However, you may encounter errors such as “Cloaking is forbidden by destination URL with X-Frame-Options header.”

This issue arises due to clickjacking protection, which prevents pages from being displayed within frames, iframes, or objects.

Despite Dropbox’s policy against link cloaking, there may be times when you need to hide Dropbox links due to the sensitive information they contain.

With ShortifyMe.com, you can cloak Dropbox links that point to individual files, such as images or audio files.

Unfortunately, URLs leading to folders with multiple files cannot be cloaked.

Here’s how you can cloak Dropbox links:

Navigate to the Dropbox file you want to cloak.

Generate a share link for the file.

Replace “www” in the link with “dl.”

Example:

Original link: https://www.dropbox.com/s/video.mp3?dl=0

Modified link: https://dl.dropbox.com/s/video.mp3

Shorten and Cloak: Use Shortifyme.com to shorten and cloak the modified dropbox link.
