DropBox Chooser - Possible to preview files and disable upload button?

Hello there,

I was wondering if it was possible to disable the Upload functionality on the DropBox Chooser component and whether it's possible to preview files such as images?

If not, is there an endpoint in the API that will let me retrieve a list of image preview links in order to create a previewer myself?

Thanks,

API

    No, the Dropbox Chooser doesn't offer a way to disable the upload functionality, or to preview images. 

    The Dropbox API itself also doesn't offer a way to retrieve preview links. It just offers a way to retrieve preview data directly.

    I'll pass these along as feature requests, but I can't promise if or when they might be implemented.
