Hi skezh1,

Yes, of course, it's obvious. Both scripts share the same namespace and put there the same name - the last wins. 🙋 That's where your issue is coming from.

By the way you're not using neither Embedder, Saver, or something like... hy at all you need the second script? 🧐 Just to make your life difficult? 😁

A workaround can be seen here if by any chance you need both scripts. 😉

Good luck.

    I'm using the Saver in my app. The above was just a minimal sniplet to reproduce the issue.

     

    Question remaining is why now this started to happen?

     

    Did the dropin library had changes to it that started to overwrite the Dropbox class instead of extending it, and if so - was the change intended and probably documentation should be updated, or is it a bug?

      To be honest, I'm not aware of some recent change. Both scripts share the same name all the time, as far as I know. So when put on the same place one of them will overwrite the other always - the last wins, as I said!

      Maybe you have something changed in your page: different namespaces merge, order os scripts load change, move from static to dynamic build of Saver, etc. Could be one or more of the things. You can best figure out what happened.
