This isn't a direct link to the image. I'm pretty sure they removed it so that you couldn't use them as an image host.

Yeah. I'd argue this is quite a bit better. People can comment on the image, add it to their dropbox, view entire galleries, preview things like word files that couldn't open natively in the browser. And it doesn't make it any harder to just look at the image if that's what you want.

It seems very reasonable to me that they're not designing for the use case of people who are trying to host images for their website directly from their Dropbox folder. That was never what Dropbox was meant for.

I had the same frustration and I made https://imgz.org/, which I like. YMMV.
