Saver does not upload image file to dropbox, only opens the image in new tab.
Trying to use Saver on Instagram files. If I use the API like this:
fetch("/api/dropboxupload", {
method: "POST",
headers: {
"Content-Type": "application/json...
dwWithCat ŠŠ“ŃŠ°Š²ŠŗŠ¾ is correct; for a situation like that, you'll need to instead follow "Programmatically creating Saver buttons" or "Triggering the Saver from JavaScript".
Gemini AI said that Saver wonāt upload an image file from a url, that it has to be a file located on my machine

Dropbox Community ModeratordwWithCat In order to successfully use the Saver, make sure you're configuring the attributes, etc. as documented. Please refer to my previous message for a few specifics to check to make sure you configure this correctly.
Also, the Saver does support uploading image files from URLs.
This is the html for my button:
<a href="https://scontent-bos5-1.cdninstagram.com/v/t51.29350-15/428411950_339418955083101_368199220363993675_n.jpg?_nc_cat=102&ccb=1-7&_nc_sid=18de74&_nc_ohc=0ce-NRUUU5sQ7kNvgEM71DQ&_nc_ht=scontent-bos5-1.cdninstagram.com&edm=ANo9K5cEAAAA&oh=00_AYArNjV13Xrqx0ES6GTEp2oGvbNtOkDp5MpdqcaCz1ur0A&oe=66514ADB" data-filename="_everything_in_my_feed_begins_with_g__.jpg" class="dropbox-saver dropbox-dropin-btn dropbox-dropin-default">Save to Dropbox2</a>clicking on this button only opens a new tab and displays the image. It does not upload the file to Dropbox

dwWithCat I just tried this and the Saver button was successfully built and clicking it successfully launched the Saver, not a new tab showing the image:
