Safari embed

I'm embedding a link to a dropbox folder using the code below. It works perfectly well in Firefox, but in Safari it comes up with an error:   There's no further javascript errors. Any idea...

    Thanks - as I was creating a simpler test page (w/o security)  I got a different Dropbox message which was - Please enable cookies. I turned off the 'Prevent 3rd party tracking' under teh Safaria Security tab in preferences and dropbox started working properly.

     

    So, the simple solution is to make sure that cookies are turned on.

     

    Thanks for your help!

Thanks for the report. I can't seem to reproduce this error when I try a folder embed in Safari 13 myself though. Would you be able to share a sample page where this occurs? Feel free to open a ticket here if you'd prefer to share privately.
