Dropfiles / Error 404 with Dropbox and Google Drive

Hello,

I've done a relaunch of the website of a colleague and now I'm facing a problem. I don't know why this happens and unfortunately I can't reproduce it.

I've set-up the website in a subfolder with Dropfiles and there it's working fine without any problems.
When I'm connecting Dropfiles with Dropbox/Google Drive on the live-site, I'll get a 404 after hitting the Download button on the frontpage.
The settings are the same like on the test-environment.

When I deactivate the SEO urls and url rewrite, the download will work without any problems.

The same error occurs when I'm uploading a file directly with Dropfiles in the backend.

System configuration:
- Joomla 3.9.2
- Dropfiles 5.0.8

Unfortunately the subscription ended weeks ago and he won't renew it because it's working besides this little error.

Hopefully someone can help!

Best regards

I found that Docx files gave a 404 error if try to download only if you have older version of htaccess file - see the FAQs for dropfiles
Pdf files were fine.

Remove the line below from your htaccess file :


RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} /component/|(/[^.]*|\.(php|html?|feed|pdf|vcf|raw))$ [NC]
