Dropbox Embedder problem

Hello,

I have searched the internet in hopes of finding an answer, but there is no quide or earlier discussion that solves my problem. I am trying to embed a folder/pdf to a website.

 

When I try to follow along with the documentation of the embedder, I always get the same error as shown below. In the console i get the

"Refused to display 'https://www.dropbox.com/' in a frame because it set 'X-Frame-Options' to 'deny'."

 

 

Below is my code, I exchanged the key and link for now with "myKey" and "MySharedLink" for privacy reasons

(EDIT: I did this post in a bit of a hurry, the "MySharedLink" is obviously the link to the library, and the link in the href is where i put my shared link)

    You'll need to add the relevant domain to "Chooser / Saver / Embedder domains", not the "OAuth 2" section.

     

    If you've done so and it's still not working for you, please share a sample page showing the issue so we can look into it for you. (You can open a ticket here if you'd prefer to shared privately.) Thanks!

    Have you registered the correct domain in "Chooser / Saver / Embedder domains" on the app's settings page on the App Console for the app for the app key you're using?

      I think so.

      Here is an example when i tried building in a Google Site.

      Correct me if i'm wrong, but i thought i got the domain right?

       

      EDIT: My screenshot shows domains under OAuth 2, but i also tried Choose/Saver/Embedder domains with the same error
