I am using Ruby on rails with boxr gem to integrate box api and I have a requirement to implement the capability where pdf file should default open in the browser when a user tries to download particular pdf file.
Boxr gem provide a method call download_url, which returns download URL and when User clicks on it, it's force the browser to download file instead of open in the browser default viewer.
Yes, you can use the embed_url method from the Boxr gem to generate a file preview link. This method takes a Box file id as the parameter and returns back a file preview link. You can preview the file by accessing the link directly or embedding the link into an iFrame.
Thanks Murtza for your response, I have to implement the same behavior as pdf file hosted in s3, It opens default in browse using pdf.js viewer. Is there a way to acomplish the same behavior? I have gone through this post https://www.dropbox.com/en/help/201. Please help me if this will work with boxr gem.
