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", {

dwWithCat Здравко is correct; for a situation like that, you'll need to instead follow "Programmatically creating Saver buttons" or "Triggering the Saver from JavaScript".
use this button:

Dropbox Community ModeratordwWithCat 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:

If this isn't working for you, please share a live sample page URL displaying the issue so we can take a look.
exhibit page the images in the grid on this page have buttons to save them to Dropbox. They do not work for me - they only open a new tab and display the image there.
Aaahh... dwWithCat, On the platform you're trying static links cannot be used! 🤷
Try use dynamic button creation with the same content.
At the time Dropbox script loads, it expect all links are already loaded and starts immediately enumerate them and so. In your case at that time there is nothing loaded yet. That's where your issue is coming from.
Hope it's a bit more clear now.
