error not showing at embed

Hi, I have an error displaying the embedded part, although I have followed the instructions correctly, but when I show the 1MB pdf file link, it can be displayed, but the pdf link is over 9mb but it doesn't show up.
Hope to get help, thank you.

It used to work fine before, but it's only been there for a few days

    I have a file on dropbox and want to show previous preview on web page. so I used the a shared link to embed the preview of the file to your website.

    thanks for your support

    Thanks for the screenshots, tranvu.

     

    Just to be clear, are you using the Dropbox API in order to embed the preview of the file to your website, or are you possibly trying to force a shared link to preview?

    Hey tranvu, thanks for joining our Community here.

     

    Would you mind giving us a bit more info on the issue you're facing?

     

    What are you trying to accomplish? Does this have to do with previewing this PDF file?

     

    And if so, where? On the Dropbox website or mobile app?

     

    If you can send us some clarifications and also a screenshot of the error you mention, that would be really helpful.

     

    Thanks!
