Can you embed a Dropbox folder on a website or webpage?
What are good ways to embed dropbox folder in the a webpage like a Google drive for example ?

Good news, we've made a preview of a new pre-built component for embedding files and folders available! You can find more information here: https://www.dropboxforum.com/t5/Discuss-Dropbox-Developer-API/Feedback-The-Embedder-Launched-in-Preview/m-p/405265#M1072

I dont beleive someone hears us or even pays attention to our requests. 2015 is the first post. Today is 2019. So i guess if Dropbox really wanted to do it they had all the time to do it. Why do i have to use google drive or onedrive for embeding? When you are in 1st place of cloud services (as i think dropbox is) you should have provided this option many years now. I am afraid that "add your voice to the feature request" is a typical answer that will leave this unsloved for another 4 years. It would be great if someone from that dept told us the truth like forget it look elsewere or we simply can not do it or we are working on it.

7 years agoharrysfil Thanks for the reply! We generally don't announce plans ahead of time, as plans can change and we wouldn't want to accidentally mislead anyone. Right now, I'm not aware of current work on a feature like this, but I'll follow up on this thread if/when I have anything to share.

The bigger question is WHY? why does dropbox leaves out this feature. I am using your professional plan which costs a lot of money. So i think that someone who makes these decisions should answer not only to me but also to anyone else with the same request.

harrysfil I can't offer insight as to why Dropbox overall does or doesn't implement any particular feature, but we appreciate the input from our customers!

So, what is the purpose of people representing the company or even customer care? Just to write down our requests. Dropbox could create a form just for that. No reason to have people to interact. I really feel like if i am dealing with the Company which is faceless which has a soul of its own and all the rest of us-customers have no say to it.
