Re: dropbox embedder cannot download file

dropbox embedder cannot download file

Hi all,

 

We are trying to use the DropBox embedder in our website to allow users to download files.  I have the DropBox folder shared and set to "Anyone with this link can edit".

 

The embedder works find, I can see the folders and files.  But if I click the download icon, nothing happens.  If I first login to my DropBox account (which is the owner of the folder), when I click the download icon, the file downloads.

 

Is there a share setting or embedder app setting I am missing?  We would like people to be able to download from the website without having to login to DropBox.

 

Thank you.

Thank you for the feedback.  Yes it would definitely be better if we could get the Embedder to work correctly.  I understand implementing this functionality using the API would require more work.

Hi @Greg-DB 

 

I was testing the embedder again today and it seems like the issue is fixed.

 

Can you confirm that?  I want to make sure before I start working with it.

 

Thank you!

Terry

@tcnolan7 The team is still working on some aspects of this issue, but yes the file download functionality in particular should be working now.
