Thank you for your response. I have attempted using 'db-<APP KEY>' with my actual app key and I am still not redirected to the mobile app. The allow button is greyed out. Do you have any other ideas?

Hm...🤔 I just tried it out too:

... and finally as a result (after hitting Allow) I got:

Here oauth_token_secret is authentication code actually (the one masked in green).

If you got something different, post screenshots of the exact steps.

    Please note that the /1/connect page is only meant for use by the official Dropbox SDK(s) and is not documented or intended for third party implementations. When implementing the OAuth app authorization yourself, please use /oauth2/authorize, documented here, e.g., as shown in my previous message.

      Hm...🤔 Really? In such a case what's something not "intended for third party implementations" doing inside official Dropbox SDK (public accessible and documented) that's intended for third party implementations? 🧐 Isn't strange enough? 😁

        Здравко To clarify, that is meant for the implementation in the official Dropbox SDK(s), and third parties can certainly use the official Dropbox SDKs, but third parties are not meant to re-implement the functionality using /1/connect themselves.
