    We do not currently include the MIME type in the response from metadata returned by the Chooser.  I have filed this as a feature request for the Chooser.

    In cases where the returned file name includes a file extension, is it possible to infer the MIME type from the file extension?

dolphin-newbie It looks like the issue is that you don't have the domain you're running from pre-registered as a Dropbox Chooser/Saver domain on the app's page on the App Console. You need to pre-register the domain(s) you'll be using your app key on so that other people can't use your app key on their own sites.

In this case, you'd want to register 'a9b7088a.ngrok.io'. To do so, go to the App Console, click on the app with app key '0ro4ue0jd0uqghq', and enter 'a9b7088a.ngrok.io' under "Chooser/Saver domains".
