I am using this code :
<iframe src="SimpleViewer/3D/index.html" width="600" height="600" frameborder="0" scrolling="no"></iframe>

Offline (on xampp by instance or just the index.html in win explorer) the images show up just fine and the way i want them to be

Your iframe code will work only if the HTML document containing the iframe is in your root directory (alongside the 'SimpleViewer' directory).
Otherwise, try defining the 'src' of your iframe with a leading slash to denote your root directory, i.e.:

<iframe src="/SimpleViewer/3D/index.html" width="600" height="600" frameborder="0" scrolling="no"></iframe>

I've changed my code to yours but now it says error 404 :/
Any other ideas?

Using an absolute URL for the 'src' of your iframe should work fine for all scenarios where regular web servers are used, e.g.:

<iframe src="http://www.example.com/SimpleViewer/3D/index.html" width="600" height="600" frameborder="0" scrolling="no"></iframe>

However, if you are using Dropbox to host your gallery, you will need to put all your files in a 'Public' folder and use the 'Public link' to the gallery's 'index.html' file as the 'src' of your iframe.
Otherwise, rather than the HTML page being displayed in a browser (like it would on any regular web server), it will be offered up as a download by Dropbox in its file-sharing mode.
Please see the Embedding in a Web Template Site instructions for details on how to host a gallery using Dropbox.

I've tried using the absolute url { http://www.besa.nl/Simpleviewer/3D/index.html } but again error 404 :s

Then i tried using the dropbox url but am i getting blank screen

and  this error message when i do inspect element on chrome :
Refused to display 'https://www.dropbox.com/s/n1o7qzcwvr63s … ransparent' in a frame because it set 'X-Frame-Options' to 'SAMEORIGIN'.
