To use the embedder, you will first need to create an app via the App console. With that you'll need the App Key that is located in the app console.

 

From there you'll want to insert this javascript:

<script type="text/javascript" src="https://www.dropbox.com/static/api/2/dropins.js" id="dropboxjs" data-app-key="[YOUR APP KEY]"></script>

 Replacing [YOUR APP KEY] with the app key from your App console.

 

From there you can use the following html:

<a 
  href="[CONTENTS SHARED LINK]" 
  class="dropbox-embed"
></a>

I tried this recommendation from Tahsini but all I get is this.

It tries to load an iframe which is blocked.

    Hawkeye00 To use the Dropbox Embedder, make sure you've registered the domain(s) of your site(s) where you want to use it. You can find more information in the Dropbox Embedder documentation. You can register your "Chooser / Saver / Embedder domains" from your app's page on the App Console.
