Dropbox DL and Preview urls take a form of https://uc[26 https://uc[26 character hex string].dl.dropboxusercontent.com/... and https://uc[26 https://uc[26 character hex string].preview.dropboxusercontent.com/... - it does not have to be a separate TLD to avoid being blocked, but it has to be differentiated.
This is the same reason why the block of the TFA company did not cause an outage of everyone using CloudFront - GSB does not block full TLDs if it can be shown content is distinct. Same for anyone using S3, Azure equivalents and so on.
