    <title>topic How can I read files from Dropbox to display on my React webpage? in Dropbox API Support &amp; Feedback</title>
    <link>https://www.dropboxforum.com/t5/Dropbox-API-Support-Feedback/How-can-I-read-files-from-Dropbox-to-display-on-my-React-webpage/m-p/587608#M27351</link>
    <description>&lt;P&gt;Hello,&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;I was able to connect to Dropbox and make a call dropbox.files_list_folder(path="") to fetch information about files I have uploaded to my storage.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;However, I just can't find a way to display the image to my webpage... I tried using 'path_display' field to try to get it done but it doesn't seem like this will let me pass even when i am using a token correctly.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Is this possible? I came across a post on Reddit that Dropbox doesn't support this but only allows reading info/metadata and uploading to Dropbox...&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Is that true?&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;The&amp;nbsp;&lt;SPAN&gt;path_display attribute returned in file metadata shows a path to the content within the user's Dropbox; it is not browser accessible URL.&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;The Dropbox API has &lt;A href="https://www.dropbox.com/developers/documentation/http/documentation#files-download" target="_self"&gt;files/download&lt;/A&gt; &amp;amp; &lt;A href="https://www.dropbox.com/developers/documentation/http/documentation#files-get_thumbnail" target="_self"&gt;files/get_thumbnail_v2&lt;/A&gt; calls that will enable you to retrieve binary content for use in your application - but you'll need to manage making that content accessible to the browser.&amp;nbsp; &lt;A href="https://www.dropbox.com/developers/documentation/http/documentation#files-get_temporary_link" target="_self"&gt;files/get_temporary_link&lt;/A&gt; will enable you to request a URL for reading content, but note that this link is not to be used for directly displaying content in the browser.&amp;nbsp; All of these calls require the&amp;nbsp;files.content.read scope; you may prompt the user to access file content.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;The recommended - and easiest - ways to embed Dropbox content on a web page so a user may preview it is with &lt;A href="https://www.dropbox.com/developers/embedder" target="_self"&gt;the Embedder&lt;/A&gt;. The component allows a user to interact with Dropbox content within an iframe on your page.&lt;/P&gt;</description>
