jpimbema, Is that, you posted, used only for Dropbox Embedder or for other things too (like Dropbox Chooser)?

      Thanks jpimbema.

      Jay, your mistake - nothing API related!

       

      As I said, check the actual link you have created - don't suppose it. In your account, on right of the folder, you want to show, is a share icon (it displays only when cursor hovered). Push it and see what's on the dropdown menu there (what's selected actually).

        Здравко when I click the icon it shows Iedereen met deze link: kan weergeven translated: Anyone with this link: can view

         
        That's the actual link I copy into the embed code.
