Dropbox embedder
Hi, i'm using the new dropbox embedder. I've made the folder as shared folder. But inside the folders, I have also sub folders. The issue is the sub folders cannot be accessed. How to fix this ? Erro...

superheroEK Thanks, that's helpful. I've looked into your Embedder setup, and I see this is failing because of the use of a type of shared link not meant for use with the Dropbox Embedder.
Specifically, your Embedder is configured with an "edit" shared link (with "/scl/fo" in the URL), however the Embedder is meant for use with "view" shared links (with "/sh" in the URL).
I'll ask the team to see if we can update the Embedder to fully support edit links like that, but to avoid these issues, please replace the edit link with a view link. You can find information on creating shared links here.

-- this is my dropbox.
I want it to behave like https://ceridap.eu/en/documents-on-the-covid-19-emergency/, so when clicking sub folders, it can open the sub folder.
The problem is I can only create main folder as shared folder. But when creating the sub folders, there is no option to create as shared folder. So how to make the sub folders accessible like in that sample website ?

Many thanks, Greg. That appears to solve the issue. I didn't know that the default for share link apparently is with edit access.
I have changed it to view access and it's working now. Many thanks for your assistance 🙂
Another small issue, sometimes the title stucked as "Loading..." like this: https://prnt.sc/9IodXXbd3yOV.
Check out the sample on this page:

Is it because of cache ? How do I clear it so it displays the proper title again ?- Greg-DB2 years agoDropbox Staff
superheroEK I just checked on your page, and it's still using a "/scl/fo" link. Make sure you've updated the page to use a "/sh" link, which should resolve the "Loading" issue as well.
