Remove Dropbox Onebox For Audio Links

Good idea–I tested it, with a surprising result:

  1. In the blocked onebox domains settings, I entered: www.dropbox.com, https://dropbox.com, dropbox, https://www.dropbox.com (I wasn’t sure what the right variation was, so wanted to cover my bases).

  2. After I did that, audio files did not onebox or convert into a (unusable) audio player–they just stayed as the dropbox link. So long as dropbox won’t play audio on non-dropbox sites, this seems like the best result for audio.

  3. But: Other dropbox oneboxing still seemed to happen (surprisingly), even with dropbox entered in the blocked onebox domain settings. For example, pasting in a dropbox image link still showed the image itself in the discourse post.
