Its upsetting that even with the API (which is poorly documented and doesn't show sample code for PHP the most common programming language for websites) we can't create a gallery on our own website and get a list of image urls from a dropbox folder to use??
The dropbox UI is heavily branded to dropbox it's look completely breaks most brands changing the customer experience.
Every answer I've looked at has a response that says "Dropbox can't do <<insert reasonable simple task here>>" while people are constantly finding work arounds showing it's possible but dropbox doesn't care what their customers need. Yes you can view a folder as a gallery but the only way I've seen is to copy all the files from a gallery one by one or by using a parser to get the urls of every image. Then make a gallery on your website that uses those urls. I know for sure Dropbox has tools to do this but the documentation is impossible to understand for most people.
