Embedder fails to load

Hi, I am using the embedder in Angular application and unreliably(and with no clear pattern I can see) it fails to load data. I can see that the iframe is created in the element after the embed func...

Thanks for following up. Also just to confirm, can you let me know if it does or doesn't happen for you on the Embedder documentation page in Chrome as well?

 

If it doesn't happen for you there, we'll need to investigate more specifically. I don't have an Angular environment where I can run your sample code though; at your convenience, can you deploy that sample so we can try it?

So far it did not happen to me on the documentation page, curiously it also did not happen in my code so far while using share link to the file but happens when using share link to a folder.

Here is a basic demonstration of the code that has this problem in my testing environment on stackblitz but unfortunately I could not figure out how to enable connecting to dropbox from there even with adding the domain to the app console.

    Hi Standa Fy,

     

    Your app does not appear to be saving the App key that is entered in the app-key field.

     

    You can confirm in the Network tab of the Developer Console that, even though the call to /dropins/embed is successful (200), the value of the app_key parameter is set to undefined.

      Well this is embarrassing, sorry. In my haste I forgot to properly adapt the sample code. It is now fixed on the same address. Simply click load script after setting the app key.

        Hi Standa Fy,

         

        Could you also confirm that you have added the respective domain(s) for the app you are using in the app's "Chooser / Saver / Embedder domains" field, from within the App Console?
