Embed a File Request On My Website
Hello!
I would love the ability to embed or host a file request directly on my website. We currently share our file request link and people are directed to the Dropbox File Request site; Howeve...
Thanks for the post! Dropbox doesn't currently offer a way to embed a file request like this, but I'll pass this along as a feature request. I can't promise if or when that might be implemented though.

We would also want to do the same, is there a way to upvote the feature request to get more traction?

robertoandrade Commenting here serves that purpose. Thanks!
THIS IS A PRETTY BASIC FEATURE I WOULD THINK TO GET DATA -- instead of using the File Request Link. In 2 years, you'd hope this embed feature -- I mean Dropbox has a zillion integrations already -- but no simple ones.
The last update was two years ago. Is this still not possible? What about embedding a Dropbox file request link on my website? Would that work?

zachbfg Dropbox still does not support embedding a file request on another site.
You can include a link to a Dropbox file request (that is, using a "<a>" element), but Dropbox doesn't support embedding the Dropbox file request web site itself (e.g., using "<iframe>").
Seems like a pretty popularly requested feature, not just in the forums but elsewhere...
What is the roadblock to getting this done? Is it on the road map at all? It's really unprofessional to use the standard method for requesting files, particularly publicly facing scenarios.
Please provide a reply with something more substantial than "we don't offer it at this time, here's a work around". Show some transparency and you wont have people coming back and asking all the time.
