Dropbox API Support & Feedback
Find help with the Dropbox API from other developers.
Hello!
I have a problem with the dropbox Chooser API.
https://www.dropbox.com/developers/chooser
https://www.dropbox.com/static/api/2/dropins.js <-- problem javascript
<script type="text/javascript" src="https://www.dropbox.com/static/api/2/dropins.js" id="dropboxjs" data-app-key="xxxxx"></script> <-- embed code
I have added "Chooser" javaScript to my dozens of web sites/pages. but recently errors started appearing.
All Window object functions before running "dropins.js" are overwritten.
So web page functions are broken.
When I looked at the "dropins.js" file... there was code that overwrites everything on the Window object. Isn’t this problematic code? Please make a fix.
========================
var W = window.Dropbox,
K = window,
F = o.Dropbox;
for (var q in F) K[q] = F[q]; <-- here
F.__esModule && Object.defineProperty(K, "__esModule", {
========================
Please do not overwrite existing web page functions.
There is no problem with Google Drive, One Drive, or Box javascript.
Only Dropbox overwrites existing functions.
For example, functions like "init()".
Dropbox.init ==> Window.init (Disables the existing “init” function on the webpage)
Thanks for the report! I'll have the team look into it.
This should be fixed now. Please let us know if you're still seeing any issues. Thanks!
