I agree with the above. I kmow my way about a wordpress site, but am not a coder. Your information on how to embed files in the developer instructions is gobbledygook to me! A trusted 3rd party app seems to be missing - where I would expect it to be.

    has this been enabled yet?  I would really love to have a read only dropbox folder displayed in my wordpress site.  Benefits are numerous -- not having to build a list of files that point to dropbox files,  not bogging down my wordpress database with files that I dont want to store there.  Easy to use....   I am sure there are more benefits.  Did anyone come up with a plugin to do this yet?

      mjottii I can't speak to what other third parties may have implemented, but on the Dropbox side there are a few updates (though nothing specific to WordPress).

       

      Dropbox now offers an App Center to list some third party integrations: https://www.dropbox.com/apps

       

      Dropbox also now offers the Dropbox Embedder, which can be used to embed Dropbox files or folders via Dropbox shared links: https://www.dropbox.com/developers/embedder

        thanks -- the embeder might work!  sounds pretty close to what I am looking for.
