    <description>&lt;P&gt;We have embedded Dropbox onto our website in an iframe:&amp;nbsp;[Removed as per &lt;A href="https://www.dropboxforum.com/t5/Announcements/Community-Guidelines/m-p/325896#M245" target="_blank" rel="noopener"&gt;Community Guidelines&lt;/A&gt;]&lt;BR /&gt;We produce a Dropbox read only share link to include in the embed code.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;For some folders we get a share link containing /scl/fo/ which leads to a registration splash screen whenever a website visitor clicks a file in the embedder. However we want to start a download instead of a registration...&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;The strange thing is that other folders for which we produce a read only share link contain /sh/ . When you click on a file in the embedder with this link in the code, the download starts without a registration splash screen.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Now, I've read that a link&amp;nbsp;containing /scl/fo/ is an edit link.&amp;nbsp;Why do some folders produce a link containing /scl/fo/ and others /sh/ while we explicitly ask for a read only share link?&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;We run a Dropbox Advanced plan.&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Hi &lt;SPAN style="background: var(--ck-color-mention-background); color: var(--ck-color-mention-text);"&gt;&lt;a href="https://www.dropboxforum.com/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/1823140"&gt;@jpimbema&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/SPAN&gt;, thanks for messaging the Community!&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Just for clarification, are you using any of the Dropbox API when embedding Dropbox onto your site?&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;This will help me to assist further!&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;BLOCKQUOTE&gt;&lt;HR /&gt;&lt;a href="https://www.dropboxforum.com/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/1823140"&gt;@jpimbema&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;wrote:&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;P&gt;...&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Now, I've read that a link&amp;nbsp;containing /scl/fo/ is an edit link.&amp;nbsp;Why do some folders produce a link containing /scl/fo/ and others /sh/ while we explicitly ask for a read only share link?&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;...&lt;/P&gt;&lt;HR /&gt;&lt;/BLOCKQUOTE&gt;&lt;P&gt;Hi &lt;a href="https://www.dropboxforum.com/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/1823140"&gt;@jpimbema&lt;/a&gt;,&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;There are 2 folder link formats (one is being in depreciation /sh/ and other - the successor /scl/fo/). By now the two formats are in use (the old one is not dropped automatically, but all new links are in new format). That doesn't mean the particular link is "can edit" type, but could be. That's something you have control on and can check.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;In folder share settings is a dropdown menu where you can select from "can view" or "can edit" as well as see what's selected now (the same is for file share settings as well). You can change your default settings from your &lt;A title="Default sharing settings" href="https://www.dropbox.com/account/sharing" target="_blank" rel="noopener"&gt;account sharing settings&lt;/A&gt;. See on section "What people can do" and change to appropriate if needed. &lt;img class="lia-deferred-image lia-image-emoji" src="https://www.dropboxforum.com/html/@41457EF40051AFF130FDBFE21B496926/emoticons/1f609.png" alt=":winking_face:" title=":winking_face:" /&gt; The last is valid for both on site created link and API created links. While using API, in the API itself is no control what type of link to be produced - not yet at least. For API you may control your link types only by using default setting in your account (i.e. by hand). Let's hope this will change in future.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Hope this helps.&lt;/P&gt;</description>

In your account, on right of the folder, you want to show, is a share icon (it displays only when cursor hovered). Push it and see what's on the dropdown menu there (what's selected actually).&lt;/P&gt;</description>

It's just not "can edit" link type in such a case, but "can view". To be sure, you may recreate the link and check anew - the link you're using may be created at time when something else has been selected.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Next step would be to check the link in incognito window and change the ending "dl=0" to "dl=1". When hitting enter key, does the link start download or shows some message? (you don't need to download - cancel the download - important thing is what starts to happen) If some error appears let us know what it is.&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;I created a new link and pasted it into the embed code, changed dl=0 to dl=1.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Cleared the cache of the browser. Reloaded the page where I embedded it.&lt;BR /&gt;Now when I click one of the files on the frontend, a new windows opens and I get a splash screen asking to register. Unless I click the download icon that appears when hovering over a file, then the download starts immediately in a separate window.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;This behavior with the splash screen doesn't appear with the link containing /sh/ in the url, which puzzles me. Then the download in a new window starts immediately.&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Hi again &lt;a href="https://www.dropboxforum.com/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/1823140"&gt;@jpimbema&lt;/a&gt;,&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;I just reproduced the issue and yes, I now recall that there is still unresolved incompatibility (not full compatibility at least) between Dropbox Embedder and new link format (especially folder links), unfortunately. Dropbox Embedded "forgets" that rlkey needs to be kept in nested file links. 🤷 It drops this link parameter and invalidate the link in fact. The entire dropins need redesign. Let's hope this will be done soon. &lt;img class="lia-deferred-image lia-image-emoji" src="https://www.dropboxforum.com/html/@41457EF40051AFF130FDBFE21B496926/emoticons/1f609.png" alt=":winking_face:" title=":winking_face:" /&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Good luck to all of us.&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Thanks for the report! While the Embedder isn't part of what we call the "API", it is a developer tool so I've moved it to the Developers section.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Anyway, this is a known issue with using this type of link in the Embedder. We're looking into it and I'll follow up here once I have an update.&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;&lt;a href="https://www.dropboxforum.com/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/10"&gt;@Greg-DB&lt;/a&gt;, Let me add something here. Yes, there was issue related to Dropbox Embedder itself ("was" because the current one is different and fully covers/blurs the previous, so no very clear - the issue me and you discussed above is now invisible). The current issue is Dropbox core issue! This issue affects everything. It's easy to reproduce - just create some shared link (to either file or folder) and after open it in web browser in incognito mode try download the content of a file (directly or indirectly pointed there). What is going on? This is neither API, Embedder, or any other developer tool issue. Even more: for Dropbox shared link to folder, try navigate inside (again in browser, but the same is reproducible in API and Embedder) and copy link to something inside (either file or folder). What does happen when you close the current browser and try open the link, just copied, in new window (again in incognito mode)? Does it open the desired target? 🤷 or not exactly 🙋....&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;As seems, somebody has created new mess/bug. Why when is something going to be roll out, it's not tested carefully enough in advance?! 🤦 Such a hurrying up leads to issues... I believe most user don't meet this still, but soon the complains will rain.&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;&lt;a href="https://www.dropboxforum.com/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/422790"&gt;@Здравко&lt;/a&gt; Thanks for the note. Just to make sure I'm reproducing the same thing you are, can you clarify what happens in your testing when you say "try download the content of a file (directly or indirectly pointed there). What is going on?"? What result do you get?&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;For reference, when I try that currently, I get an option to either "Log in or sign up" or "Or continue with download only", and that "Or continue with download only" option does successfully download the file for me. (And for comparison, when clicking on a file in the Embedder I instead get the registration screen, without the option to download the file, as described in the original post here.)&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Oops... sorry. Before there was copy link feature... I by mistake tried copy to account, but the rest is the same.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;.... Note also that in the popup is not the file name, but the shared folder name! Even when I fetch the file link (using either the page code or API), replacing dl=0 to dl=1, leads downloading entire folder (zip file), not the actual file the link points to.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Try play with:&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;span class="lia-inline-image-display-wrapper lia-image-align-inline" image-alt="изображение.png" style="width: 800px;"&gt;&lt;img src="https://www.dropboxforum.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/45402iFCD4F1C77EA54DEB/image-size/large?v=v2&amp;amp;px=999" role="button" title="изображение.png" alt="изображение.png" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Is the resulting link usable for something?&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;&lt;a href="https://www.dropboxforum.com/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/422790"&gt;@Здравко&lt;/a&gt; The URL to a particular file, with the file in the path of the URL, should point to the file in particular, and support downloading just that file in particular when using dl=1. I tried that and it did work for me.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Note though that it's possible to get a different URL when just viewing a particular file from its parent folder, which would still refer to the folder, and so would download the entire folder when using dl=1.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Here's a sample of the two different cases I just tried:&lt;/P&gt;
