      <title>Saver Drop-In doesn't work for Chrome Extensions</title>
      <link>https://www.dropboxforum.com/t5/Dropbox-API-Support-Feedback/Saver-Drop-In-doesn-t-work-for-Chrome-Extensions/m-p/55519#M1689</link>
      <description>&lt;P&gt;Even when you add your extension id to the Drop-Ins Domain list, triggering the Saver Drop-In from a Chrome extension currently results in an "Unable to communicate with the parent window" error because for all popups triggered from a Chrome Extension, the window.opener variable in the popup will be NULL.&lt;/P&gt;

&lt;P&gt;Does anyone have an elegant solution for resolving this? So far the only potential fix I can see is generally a no-no with Chrome Extensions: &lt;/P&gt;

&lt;OL&gt;
&lt;LI&gt;Open a new page (perhaps in an IFrame) from a domain that is on your "Drop-ins domains" list.&lt;/LI&gt;
&lt;LI&gt;Include a Content Script in that page that injects (via "&amp;lt;script&amp;gt;" tags) the Dropbox saver code into the DOM of the page (as opposed to just running in the sandboxed extension DOM).&lt;/LI&gt;
&lt;/OL&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Unfortunately we don't have any official guidance or support for using the Drop-ins in a Chrome extension right now, but I'll be sure to pass this along as a request.&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Thanks for the update Greg, I don't have a silver bullet solution but I would suggest that, if the developers were up to the challenge of making Drop-Ins work for Chrome Extensions, they take a look at Message Passing from Webpages: &lt;A href="https://developer.chrome.com/extensions/messaging#external-webpage" rel="nofollow noreferrer"&gt;https://developer.chrome.com/extensions/messaging#external-webpage&lt;/A&gt;&lt;/P&gt;</description>
