Thanks for the report! I'm not aware of anything that should cause this, so we'll have to investigate.

It will be difficult since this doesn't reproduce in a sample app, so to begin, some additional information would be helpful:
- what version number of the SDK do you have installed?
- what Android version(s) are you seeing this with?
- have you tested this on multiple devices or emulators? Do they all display the same issue?

    Dropbox sdk 3.0.3.  Same behavior on both a 7.1.1 and a 6.0.1 device.

      Thanks! Unfortunately I don't see anything out of the ordinary here. A few ideas next:

      - It might be useful to see if there are any errors coming up in the JavaScript console, e.g., using Chrome remote debugging: https://developers.google.com/web/tools/chrome-devtools/remote-debugging/
      - Also, can you try it in a non-Chrome browser?
      - If you want, share a build that produces the issue with us and we'll try to troubleshoot it here: https://www.dropbox.com/developers/contact

        Just getting back into this... I will follow the other suggestions, but thought I'd report this.  With Chrome Remote debugging, I see one warning when the page is first opened:

         

        conversion.js:27 Failed to execute 'write' on 'Document': It isn't possible to write into a document from an asynchronously-loaded external script unless it is explicitly opened.

         

        One other thing is that the url does not seem to include a "redirect" parameter.  Should it?
