Is it possible to host PDF files to box and show embedded pdf on our real estate website (link) instead of hosting on our server, which is really expensive and cost extra for bandwidth usage.

    Hi there, 

    Welcome to Box Community and glad to assist! 

    You may create a Box Embed Wiget to your website, here's how: 

    Create an Embed Widget

    To create a widget, first check the folder settings to verify that the folder is set for sharing and that you have Viewer or higher collaboration permissions.

    1. Next to the file you want, click the ellipsis (...) and from the menu that displays go to More Actions > Embed Widget.
    2. You will be presented with a window which includes HTML iframe code for your new widget, as well as options to adjust the size and default view type of your widget.
    1. Preview your embedded folder by clicking Preview.
    2. When you have finished customizing, copy the HTML code in the Embed Code field and paste this code into any website or page that supports embed code, and your widget will be published.
    3. As you add new files to the folder associated with that widget, the new files will appear in your widget automatically.

    Hope it helps!

    Thank you Rona for your reply. 

    I am hoping that the Box PDF widget will be optimized for mobile devices and able to dynamically adjust its dimensions to match the current screen size.
