    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.

Hi tenzin,

You can make your application simpler, if you just register a shared folder link in the application. After that you can enumerate the content and do whatever you want without any user login, etc. The user just has to provide a link to whatever becomes selected. 😉

Good luck.

    If I did it this way, then the users would have to go to their dropbox account and create a share link, then how do they add that link in my app?
