Embed a File Request On My Website

Hello!

 

I would love the ability to embed or host a file request directly on my website. We currently share our file request link and people are directed to the Dropbox File Request site; However, I would like for people to be directed to and perform this function on my website. I have seen this accomplished with a Box.com setup at https://forefrontwealthpartners.com/client-document-upload

 

Thanks!

    Thanks for the post! Dropbox doesn't currently offer a way to embed a file request like this, but I'll pass this along as a feature request. I can't promise if or when that might be implemented though.

      We would also want to do the same, is there a way to upvote the feature request to get more traction?

      The last update was two years ago. Is this still not possible? What about embedding a Dropbox file request link on my website? Would that work?

        zachbfg Dropbox still does not support embedding a file request on another site.

         

        You can include a link to a Dropbox file request (that is, using a "<a>" element), but Dropbox doesn't support embedding the Dropbox file request web site itself (e.g., using "<iframe>").

    This would be a great addition. The Box version of file requests is pretty nice.
