RTS S. The issue that was originally reported here was fixed on Dropbox's side. This thread is very old now though, and things have changed since then.

We now document that the /oauth2/authorize page should be processed in the user's system browser anyway. If you're not already doing that, please update your app to do so.

If something still isn't working as expected for you, please open a new thread with the details of the issue you're seeing so we can help.
