dropbox embedder getting "ancestor violates the following Content Security Policy"

in chrome the console error is:

 

Refused to frame 'https://www.dropbox.com/' because an ancestor violates the following Content Security Policy directive: "frame-ancestors 'self'".

 

in firefox error on page:

 

Firefox Can’t Open This Page

To protect your security, www.dropbox.com will not allow Firefox to display the page if another site has embedded it. To see this page, you need to open it in a new window.

 

all domains have been added to app setting: Chooser / Saver / Embedder domains

no external domains have changed.

 

please advise.

      Hi, I am trying to embed dropbox files in my app like this <iframe src="<shared_link>" ... > the iframe without using the Embedder and received the same error.  Do we have to use Embedder when embedding?
