Embedding Files from Dropbox 📦✨

📌 Who can embed? Content creation permissions in your workspace are granted by your admins, which means that in some instances, not all users have the ability to create and edit content. If you're unsure about your permissions, reach out to your platform admins or our team at support@haystackteam.com.

A Few Fun Facts About Dropbox Embeds

Here are some cool things to keep in mind about embedding files from Dropbox:

Permissions Are Respected: Haystack is smart! It respects the original permissions you've set for the file in Dropbox. If a teammate can't access the file in Dropbox, they won't be able to view the embed in Haystack. Instead, they'll see a little "permission denied" screen.
Updates Happen Automatically: This is a huge time-saver! When you make any changes to a Dropbox file, the embed in Haystack updates automatically in near-real time. That means no extra work for you—it's super simple and ensures everyone is looking at the most current version.
