      Hello again Greg-DB,

      I was wondering, in case something goes wrong, is it possible to detect that from my end programmatically?

      i mean if i can somehow understand if the embedded content is loaded successfully or not (via javascript or something), then maybe i can just show the link instead for clicking on it to go directly to dropbox in case embedder view is not working.

      Thanks in advance!

        nishu-pixofix No, the Embedder doesn't offer a way to programmatically detect error cases like that, but I'll pass this along as a feature request. I can't promise if or when that might be implemented though.
