I don't want to change to AWS...thanks
Hi, I was able to figure out what was happening to me. On the physical hardware device, when authorization occurred I recieved a window as stated above, I did NOT recieve the window on the IOS simulator. OS 10.13.6. I found this link; https://github.com/dropbox/dropbox-sdk-obj-c#handling-the-authorization-flow
specifically a call to openURL which is described as a redirecte back into SDK. I placed the code in AppDelegate.m, and the connection was allowed to happen. One solution pointed to the view controller not being on the top, but I don't think that was relevant. Thanks again

- any unexpected error or output in the Xcode consolecanOpenURL: failed for URL: "dbapi-2://1/connect" - error: "The operation couldn’t be completed. (OSStatus error -10814.)"
happens on the initial load of the login screen, then it after entering userid/pw, no more process messages run by my code.
Just a hung screen. (the one that hs the puzzle piece, and Cancel / Allow buttons on it.
i tried to load the picture but it got an unexpected error.
