Dropbox Chooser JS Component Returning "null"

Hello!

 

I started using Dropbox's Chooser in one of my webapps a couple days ago. It worked like a charm, but since around 24 hours ago, it seems to return null for any file I select (usually pdfs) instead of the direct download link, as it did originally. In particular, the component doesn't seem to be working on its own website:

 

Is this an issue that is known at the moment? When can we expect a fix, if the Chooser is still supported.

Thanks for your time, and in advance for any answer!

  • Thanks for the report! We're looking into it.

     

    Have you been trying this with a "Get Started with Dropbox.pdf" file? It looks like there's a configuration issue with that file that is preventing it from being selected in the Chooser, but let me know if you're also seeing this with other files. Thanks!

    Thanks for the response! Looks like in my poor excuse for testing I only tried the “Getting Started w Dropbox” file, others are working great.

    Thanks for confirming that! We'll work on getting that fixed up for that file.
