We’re excited to release a “Preview” version of the File and Folder Embedder, a new, pre-built component that allows your users to view and interact with their Dropbox files or folders from within your app.

If you leave us feedback while a component is in the Preview phase, then we’ll use it to help plan enhancements to the component. In 2020, we’ll be releasing some new pre-built components to give your users new and interesting ways of interacting with their Dropbox content on your surface.
