Hi All,

The Dropbox Onebox works great generally - the pretty box with the folder/file name etc .. but with some individual files (like mp3 etc) it attempts to ‘_ **play** _’ the file with the inbuilt audio player.

```
https://www.dropbox.com/s/5n413v2420pgslc/James%20and%20Ric%202017.mp3?dl=0

```

Becomes

[https://www.dropbox.com/s/5n413v2420pgslc/James%20and%20Ric%202017.mp3?dl=0](https://www.dropbox.com/s/5n413v2420pgslc/James%20and%20Ric%202017.mp3?dl=0)

Now, Dropbox kind of doesn’t allow that kind of off-site streaming thing - it prefers you to land on their page and play it with their audio player.

- Is there a way to remove the onebox formatting on a link?
- Or, can the media player not attempt to play files from the Dropbox (and probably other cloud formats?) domain(s)
