Hello guys
can you tell me which cloud service are you using by publishing of title pack?
I have tried Google Disk and Dropbox and it doesn't seem to work.
Thanks for your tips.

many authors use dropbox
see the following for a tip how to correctly use it

it has a limited quota though
google drive works the same imo
i myself use an own webspace

I looked at your link but maybe i is misunderstanding so once again:
I want to have direct link to a PNG file or a GBX file at the end of the link
When I use the dropbox share link it is always something like this:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/0j1ro00mw34q1 ... k.Gbx?dl=0
and it doesn't have a GBX extension at the end of the link - this is the problem

Google Drive doesn't support direct links.
Dropbox is a perfect solution but it has quota limit as steeffeen said.

Use dl=1 for direct download, that works at least for car models. dl=0 points only to the location.

Here is your link
https://dl.dropbox.com/s/0j1ro00mw34q1d ... e.Pack.Gbx
As in steffeen's post, change "www" to "dl". Also remove text after the file name at the end.

well i have to admit that it seems to be incompatible with the genius ManiaPlanet because it requires the ending .Title.Gbx for title packs...
(which answers my earlier "why?")
but here it is:
