PROBLEMS READING FILES FROM DROPBOX URL's

Hello world:

I have problems trying to read csv or textfiles from dropbox url’s. I dont know how to do it. I used the file reader and the csv nodes but i dont know how to set up them.

If you share download links from dropbox, they usually contain query strings (the stuff after the ? in the URL). My example link looks like this https://www.dropbox.com/s/rxmasapah6jit92/myCsv.csv?dl=0.

To download this file with a CSV reader you have to change the query string to dl=1 (https://www.dropbox.com/help/desktop-web/force-download) and maybe you have to increase the custom connection timeout threshold in the node configuration dialog.
