The web part should allow you to select the size of the embed, the theme, and the ordering, as well as pick if they want icons or a list (see screenshot).

What is the value that we should pass after "embed_widget"? https://www.box.com/embed_widget/??????/s/FolderPublicName

Hi Makif, The ? marks should be 12 zeroes: https://cloud.box.com/embed_widget/000000000000/s/[shared_name]. It's normally a hash of the embed settings but there's no way to calculate it yet (not published). The shared name is the hash value you get at the end of a shared link. For https://cloud.box.com/s/2e2eff2f01dddddd0d54, the shared name is 2e2eff2f01dddddd0d54. If you just need to embed root, you can use the following: https://box.com/embed_widget/000000000000/files/0/f/0

Hi I've found a tricky solution before your response by using https://www.box.com/embed_widget_preview but I will use 12 zeros in my application.

The bounty is too small for any good developer to seriously consider this.
