CloudRail - Dropbox - Missing client_id
Over the Easter weekend (Apr-10, 2025), Dropbox apparently made a change that makes it impossible for PimlicalAdvancedCalendar to log in through its CloudRail library. This has worked flawlessly for many years, and no change was made to PimlicalAdvancedCalendar or the CloudRail library (which is no longer supported by the developer).
Is there a reason why Dropbox has suddenly made this change? Anyone else out there with an application that was using CloudRail to access Dropbox have any idea of what Dropbox did over the Easter Weekend?
Hi cesdewar,
Thank you for raising this case. The engineering team has identified that the issue was related to a recent migration, which caused the error message "missing client_id" when using the force_reauthentication=true or prompt=login parameter with the Auth URL.
That said, the engineering team has informed me that the issue should now be resolved. Please let me know if it's resolved on your end or if you need any further assistance.
