Clicking files in embedded Dropbox leads to registration screen instead of direct download

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

Yes, starts with this code:

<script type="text/javascript" src="https://www.dropbox.com/static/api/2/dropins.js"

Now, I've read that a link containing /scl/fo/ is an edit link. Why do some folders produce a link containing /scl/fo/ and others /sh/ while we explicitly ask for a read only share link?

Hi jpimbema,

There are 2 folder link formats (one is being in depreciation /sh/ and other - the successor /scl/fo/). By now the two formats are in use (the old one is not dropped automatically, but all new links are in new format). That doesn't mean the particular link is "can edit" type, but could be. That's something you have control on and can check.

In folder share settings is a dropdown menu where you can select from "can view" or "can edit" as well as see what's selected now (the same is for file share settings as well). You can change your default settings from your account sharing settings. See on section "What people can do" and change to appropriate if needed. 😉 The last is valid for both on site created link and API created links. While using API, in the API itself is no control what type of link to be produced - not yet at least. For API you may control your link types only by using default setting in your account (i.e. by hand). Let's hope this will change in future.

Hope this helps.

Hi jpimbema, thanks for messaging the Community!

Just for clarification, are you using any of the Dropbox API when embedding Dropbox onto your site?

This will help me to assist further!
