Dropbox Chooser - how to exclude file by name (or mask)

Hi,   is there a way how to exclude a specific file from being available in Dropbox Chooser JavaScript API? I would like to disallow the file "get started with dropbox.pdf" as some users choose it...

    The Chooser doesn't offer any options quite like that (you can only select specific file extensions to allow), but I'll be sure to pass this along as a feature request.

Thanks Greg,

 

btw is the DB chooser script source somewhere on your github so I can create a fork in the meanwhile?

 

Cheers!

The JavaScript file for interacting with the Chooser is here, but that won't enable you to add the functionality you want, as the Chooser itself is actually a page on dropbox.com using server-side code.
