how to allow listening access of Dropbox audio files within my apps interface
I want to allow users of my app to them be able to connect their dropbox account and select the folder they want to allow access to.
Their folder names and their file names will be displayed in their profile on my app.
Then I want them to be able to play the audio file within my app's interface.
I also want the process of them connecting dropbox to be s seamless as possible. Ideally only 4 steps.
- Click upload from within my app (opens dropbox login)
- Login to dropbox
- Select the folders
- Click done (close dropbox, navigates back to my app)
Without them having to create an account on a third-party integrations tool.
Is there a way I achieve this?
If I did it this way, then the users would have to go to their dropbox account and create a share link, then how do they add that link in my app?

tenzin As Здравко noted, you may want to use Dropbox shared links. The Dropbox Embedder may be useful in that case.
Otherwise, Dropbox does offer an API you can use for listing, uploading, and downloading files, among other operations. You can find everything you need to get started with the Dropbox API, including documentation, tutorials, and SDKs here.

I added the embed code and nothing is showing up. I'm having trouble understanding how the users of my app will select the folders from their dropbox that they want to embed into my app.
I figured out how to embed the folder. But when I click on a folder within the embed, it opens the file on dropbox. Do you know how to open the file within the embed?
