    I have inserted the full link to the folder I’d like to share. It does work on the web. It is a public link, so anyone can view the contents.
    However, when I put the link in the plugin, it shows a 404 message error from Dropbox saying it can’t find the contents.

    Nevermind, I found out that Dropbox has an in-house embedder, which can easily be integrated in any pahe as raw html, see https://www.dropbox.com/developers/embedder, it’s still in beta but works very well

    It is possible that the problem is caused by a file with a name that contains special characters. I would like to review it.
    Can you send me a private one with a url to review it?

    The page is now public with the new dropbox widget. You can see the files at https://ceridap.unimi.it/speciale-covid-19/

    As a side note, since there is now this official widget, maybe you could redesign the plugin as a wrapper for the widget? Since using the official widget still requires some coding, I think for many users it would be quite useful to have a drop-in component.

    I have the same problem.
