The embedder is a great idea, but I wish it was much more flexible...

 

1. Make it possible to adjust it's colors etc. to make it integrate better into an existing design.

2. Make it possible to specify folders/files that should be excluded

3. The header is wasting too much space. Even in the "small" header, it's a big waste of real estate.

4. Show how many files are in each folder, or at least show if it's empty.

5. Be able to specify the text in the header, instead of showing the name of the root folder. E.g the shared folder may be named "Files shared to web". But that makes no sense when shown as the title in the header on a web page. It would make more sense to be able to set the title to be "Browse the files in Project xxx" 

6. An upload feature would be amazing.
