Feedback: The Embedder Launched in Preview

New feature alert! Dropbox is previewing a new pre-built component called the File and Folder Embedder. Simply paste a JavaScript snippet into your code and you’ve added the ability to turn Dropbox shared links into interactive, embedded previews. It’s never been easier to provide your users with the ability to view and interact directly with their Dropbox files and folders. You can read more about the Embedder on our developer blog or the Embedder documentation. 
 
We want your feedback! While in the Preview phase, we’re actively adding enhancements, new controls, and new supported filetypes to the Embedder.

      With the death of the third party cookie, is there a new solution that is being developed for the Embedder? If my users authenticate with dropbox within the app, can I do something like pass in the their Access Token within the url of the embedder?

        juhaelee I don't have any updates on the Embedder to share, but I'll pass this along as a feature request for an access token-based option like that. I can't promise if or when that might be implemented though.
