Can you embed a Dropbox folder on a website or webpage?

What are good ways to embed dropbox folder in the a webpage like a Google drive for example ? <iframe src="https://drive.google.com/embeddedfolderview?id=1234567890#list" width="100%" height="800" ...

That post involves using the Dropbox Core API:

That certainly is powerful enough to build Dropbox functionality into a web site, but it's much more free form and would require more work to build exactly what you want, as opposed to a sort of embeddable widget like you requested.

This reply was 3 years ago, surely there has been embedability implemented now?

    Where is the embed option? So many years have passed. How difficult it is to add this option.

      Thanks for the additional feedback! I don't have any news on this though; Dropbox currently doesn't offer a pre-built embeddable option like this, but I'll add your voice to the feature request.

        I dont beleive someone hears us or even pays attention to our requests. 2015 is the first post. Today is 2019. So i guess if Dropbox really wanted to do it they had all the time to do it. Why do i have to use google drive or onedrive for embeding? When you are in 1st place of cloud services (as i think dropbox is) you should have provided this option many years now. I am afraid that "add your voice to the feature request" is a typical answer that will leave this unsloved for another 4 years. It would be great if someone from that dept told us the truth like forget it look elsewere or we simply can not do it or we are working on it.
