Create a link to a PDF file by '/media' (POST request) and embedding in the browser

rami2

I tried to embedding PDF file that I get from '/media' API in HTML file. Unfortunately, the response contains the header: "Content-Disposition" which defined as "attachment", so the file can't opening as a view in the browser and the user need to download the file only. It is possible to change the header?

No, unfortunately Dropbox doesn't offer a way to control that in this case.

 

This isn't really the intended use of these, but shared links (as opposed to these temporary links) may work better for your use case.

 

In any case, you're using API v1, which is deprecated:

You should migrate to API v2 when possible:

For example, using API v2 you can get a shared link using:

You can modify those links as shown here:
