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!
