Geotiff hosted on dropbox fails

Open ragnvald opened this issue 7 years ago • 2 comments

Trying to use a geotiff stored in dropbox. It fails without any good explanation ("Woops, there was a problem Geotiff.io was unable to load the tiff. Please make sure your url or file is accurate and try again.") from the ui. This also hapens when using the local copy of the same file.

Sample file failing:

When I tried to load the GeoTIFF from the url I got this error: image This means that Dropbox isn't allowing websites to directly load files. You'll have to download them first.

When I tried loading the GeoTIFF after downloading it, I got this: image This means that GeoRaster is failing to recognize the projection. I created an issue on the GeoRaster Repo here https://github.com/GeoTIFF/georaster/issues/12

Thanks again @ragnvald for catching this!
