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.- Здравко2 years agoLegendary | Level 20

That's the actual link I copy into the embed code.In such a case your issue doesn't nothing to do with "edit link". It's just not "can edit" link type in such a case, but "can view". To be sure, you may recreate the link and check anew - the link you're using may be created at time when something else has been selected.
Next step would be to check the link in incognito window and change the ending "dl=0" to "dl=1". When hitting enter key, does the link start download or shows some message? (you don't need to download - cancel the download - important thing is what starts to happen) If some error appears let us know what it is.
