- On IE-11 it gives error.

let options = {
success: printSelectedFile,
linkType: "direct",
multiselect: true
};
Dropbox.choose(options);
}
function printSelectedFile()
{
..
}
// load picker
$(document).ready(loadPicker);
Every browser is implemented differently, so different behaviors may be expected across browsers. (For what it's worth though, I do see the same error here using your code in Chrome on macOS as well.)
In any case, you should only start the Chooser from a user-triggered event. E.g., call Dropbox.choose when a button is hit; something like:
$(document).ready(function() { $("#button").on('click', function(e) { Dropbox.choose(options); }); });
