Jeff Allred via ZenDesk:
I'm trying to embed a DropBox Paper file in my Commons/WP site and failing. I know how to do it with GSuite files, but I can't find a plugin that does this for DB. When I simply copy the URL of the file into the page to let Embedly do its magic, I get the error message that's attached. Thanks!
It might be possible, but we'd have to create an app with Dropbox so we can access their Embedder API:
https://www.dropbox.com/developers/embedder
If this is something we'd be interested in, let me know. If so, do we have a Commons Dropbox account so we can create the app? All that I'd need to proceed is a Dropbox public API key, which would be provided when the app is created.
I asked Jeff if this was a priority. He replies;
I can certainly live without it. I've used Google Docs in the past for this sort of thing but wanted to move student-facing materials to DB since that's what CUNY supports. But since it seems quixotic to make it work until DB changes what they're doing, I'd support leaving it alone for now.
- Status changed from New to Rejected
Thanks to all for the feedback.
