how to allow listening access of Dropbox audio files within my apps interface

I want to allow users of my app to them be able to connect their dropbox account and select the folder they want to allow access to. 

 

Their folder names and their file names will be displayed in their profile on my app. 

 

Then I want them to be able to play the audio file within my app's interface.

 

I also want the process of them connecting dropbox to be s seamless as possible. Ideally only 4 steps.

  • Click upload from within my app (opens dropbox login)
  • Login to dropbox 
  • Select the folders
  • Click done (close dropbox, navigates back to my app)

 

Without them having to create an account on a third-party integrations tool.

 

Is there a way I achieve this?

    Hi tenzin,

    Embeder cannot handle all data types. Currently audio and video files are not supported as noted in the link you refer to. You should organize audio playing in your site by yourself. Selecting particular file or folder can be achieved using Chooser too.

    Good luck.
