Dropbox Embedder stopped working, even the example on Dropxbox.com
The folder view of the Dropbox embedder stopped working today on my website. Just says "Something went wrong".
I went to Embedder Documentation - Developers - Dropbox - and the same is happening there also (bottom of page, before "Removing the Embedder"). Tried Edge and Chrome based browsers. Same issue also on my phone.

nishu-pixofix There's nothing you should do to work around or mitigate the issue. The team is working on resolving it on our side.

Hello again Greg-DB,
I was wondering, in case something goes wrong, is it possible to detect that from my end programmatically?
i mean if i can somehow understand if the embedded content is loaded successfully or not (via javascript or something), then maybe i can just show the link instead for clicking on it to go directly to dropbox in case embedder view is not working.
Thanks in advance! - Greg-DB3 years ago

nishu-pixofix No, the Embedder doesn't offer a way to programmatically detect error cases like that, but I'll pass this along as a feature request. I can't promise if or when that might be implemented though.
