    Hey Petugo, sorry to hear you're having issues with this.

     

    Could you walk me through the exact steps you take to do this and, if possible, send us a screenshot of the issue to have a visual too?

     

    Thanks!

    Petugo What specific browser(s) and version(s) are you seeing this with?

     

    Some browsers/modes have special privacy/tracking blocking behaviors that may impact the Dropbox Embedder, since it's technically embedding a third party site.

    Petugo Thanks for sharing the URL. Can you share which browsers (e.g., Chrome, Safari, and/or Firefox, etc.) and which version number(s) of each of those browser you're using where you see the issue?
