Adam Terpening Which link are you referring to? If you mean the "core" links I posted in 2015, those are not available as they referred to the "Core API", a.k.a. "API v1", which has since been retired. The current equivalents would be:

do we need to create an app? is there an easy way (eg. google embed system)?
- Greg-DB
harrysfil Yes, you do need to create an app and register the domain(s) on which you'd want to use the Embedder. You can do so from the web site here: https://www.dropbox.com/developers/apps/create You can find the documentation for how to use the Embedder here: https://www.dropbox.com/developers/embedder
Ok. Do you call this user friendly? I tried to do it but i cant complete it. Will it allways be that difficult? Dropbox is top cloud solution because it is simple to use. How many users can do all that? Why others provide easy ways to embed files or folders and you have not managed it by now?

harrysfil Thanks for the feedback! The new Embedder component is meant for use by developers, and we've released it in preview, meaning we may still make changes to it. If you wish, please elaborate on what specifically is giving you trouble so I can pass the details along to the team.
I am not a developer so i started to create an app as it says but then i loose it. I have a blogspot and a wordpress blog so i have no idea what is OAuth 2 or Chooser/Saver domains. Will there be a simple implemetantion for us the simple users of dropbox?
I am using the embedder an it is working.
My only problem is that the height is to small - how can I change the heigt oft the displayed folder?
