File Embed Widget — Add It to Your Website

Overview

What File Embed does

File Embed is an embeddable widget you drop into any website with a single snippet of code. Let users view and download any kind of file. It runs in its own isolated frame, so it can never clash with your site's own styles or scripts, and it resizes itself to fit wherever you place it.

The files shown in File Embed are managed from your myNaturevista dashboard — add, reorder or remove them whenever you like and the widget updates on your live site immediately. No redeploy, no developer, no touching your website's code a second time.

You control how it looks and behaves from 1 setting — theme. Pick the options that match your brand, save, and the change is live.

Like every widget in the myNaturevista tools & utilities collection, File Embed is built to be fast and unobtrusive: it loads asynchronously so it never blocks your page, works on phones and desktops alike, and can be added to as many of your pages as you want.

Setup

How to add File Embed to your site

Three steps, about two minutes, no build tools.

1

Add the loader once

Paste a single <script> tag before your closing </body> tag. One loader powers every myNaturevista widget on the page, so you only ever add it once.
2

Place the widget

Drop a small <div> wherever File Embed should appear — inside a column, a section, a sidebar, anywhere. It takes the width it is given and sets its own height.
3

Add your files

Add as many files as you want. They'll all be listed in the widget. They appear in File Embed in the order you set, and you can change them at any time.

your-page.html

<!-- 1. Load the myNaturevista loader once per page -->
<script src="https://mynaturevista.com/w.js"></script>

<!-- 2. Place the widget wherever it should appear -->
<div data-menv-widget="file-embed"
     data-menv-key="YOUR_API_KEY"
     data-menv-instance="YOUR_INSTANCE_ID"></div>

Use cases

Who uses File Embed

A page that lets someone actually do something converts better than a page that only tells them about it. Useful beats persuasive.

Landing pages

Give visitors something useful to do on the page instead of only something to read.

Small businesses

Answer the practical question customers came for, right where they are.

Agencies

Ship the same tested widget across every client site instead of rebuilding it each time.

Content sites

Add an interactive element to long articles to lift time on page.

FAQ

File Embed — frequently asked questions

How do I add the File Embed widget to my website?

Add the myNaturevista loader script once before your closing </body> tag, then place a <div> with your widget id, API key and instance id wherever File Embed should appear. That is the whole installation — it works on any platform that lets you paste HTML, including WordPress, Shopify, Squarespace, Webflow and hand-written sites.

Do I need to know how to code to use File Embed?

No. If you can paste a snippet of HTML into your site once, you are done. Everything after that — settings, content and styling — is handled from your myNaturevista dashboard, with no further code changes.

Can I customise how File Embed looks?

Yes. File Embed exposes 1 setting: theme. Change them in the dashboard and your live site picks the new values up on the next page load.

Where does the content in File Embed come from?

From you. Add as many files as you want. They'll all be listed in the widget. They appear in the widget in the order you choose, and updates are live immediately — you never have to touch your website again to change them.

Does File Embed work on mobile?

Yes. File Embed is responsive: it takes the width of the container you place it in and adjusts its layout and height for phones, tablets and desktops.

Will File Embed slow down my website?

No. The loader is asynchronous, so it never blocks your page from rendering, and the widget itself runs in an isolated frame that loads separately from your own content.

Can I use File Embed on more than one website?

Yes. Each website you own gets its own API key and its own configuration, so the same widget can show different settings and content on each domain.

Which plans include File Embed?

File Embed is available on the following plans: Free, Starter, Business, Enterprise. You can change plan at any time from your dashboard.
