Dropbox doesn't offer resources for Next.js in particular, but we do offer an API you can use for listing, uploading, and downloading files, among other operations, from any platform that can make HTTPS requests. You can find everything you need to get started with the Dropbox API, including documentation, tutorials, and SDKs here: https://www.dropbox.com/developers
And while I can't say if it would be suitable for your particular scenario, Dropbox does offer an official JavaScript SDK for accessing the Dropbox API here: https://github.com/dropbox/dropbox-sdk-js
thank you for the time but i need simple example how to implement this api of dropbox inside any app javascript and the feautre that i need to create this integration like accesToken and the library for render the file inside my web app because i use this code to render my dropbox file still give me the error of 500 internal server error :
import React from 'react';interface FileOptions {zoom?: "best" | "fit";}interface FolderOptions {view?: "list" | "grid";headerSize?: "normal" | "small";}interface EmbedOptions {link: string;file?: FileOptions;folder?: FolderOptions;}interface DropboxProps {options: EmbedOptions;}const DropboxEmbed: React.FC<DropboxProps> = ({ options }) => {const { link } = options;return (<iframesrc={link}width="600"height="400"frameBorder="0"allowFullScreentitle="Embedded Dropbox Content"/>);};// Example usageconst exampleOptions: EmbedOptions = {// Shared link to Dropbox filefile: {// Sets the zoom mode for embedded files. Defaults to 'best'.zoom: "best" // or "fit"},folder: {// Sets the view mode for embedded folders. Defaults to 'list'.view: "list", // or "grid"headerSize: "normal" // or "small"}};const Secure: React.FC = () => {return (<div><h1>Embedded Dropbox Content</h1><DropboxEmbed options={exampleOptions} /></div>);};export default Secure;Hi Saif Lajmi,
Dropbox Embedder is a prebuilt component, not just some name as you think as seems! Ensure usage of this component and don't "transform" it to inline frame. Dropbox links cannot be rendered in such a way.
Hope this gives some direction.
thank for your answer please can you explain to me the prebuilt Dropbox embeder because i dont find any documentation contain the embeder using typscript to allow the rendring of my dropbox file inside my nextjs app ?

Hm..🤔 Where you get that link from? Probably there is no any documentation. 🤷
Rhetoric, of course. I'm not familiar with the environment you use, but there is always a way to render such a thing. Just make sure when you pass the things (already rendered from your environment point of view) there to be code as pointed in the page you get your link from. 🙋 That's it.
thank you very much ... i find this documentation about how to emded any think using short javascript script in this link https://www.dropbox.com/developers/embedder but i want to transform this into reactjs or nextjs to implement throw my website i failed that why i'm asking for ...Thank's
In short, you cannot do it in that way.
In more words: Dropbox Embedder works only in browser and that's why you cannot do it in the way you intent to (server side). You can do something similar, but without Dropbox Embedder. In fact you should re-implemed entire rendering process (on your own) using Dropbox API on background if you want to of course.
Hope this clarifies matter.
oh ok the dropbox api sdk is published in github i should be find the way to implement this api inside my rendring website page to make it work using nextjs and typscript instead of javascript that 's the difficult that i'm trying to faced thank's bro😔
