How to find the present-log-in-account in the redirect_uri
I have a question about /oauth2/authorize end point.
Now I'm developing an Android app. The app sends a request to /oauth2/authorize end point. (response_type=token) I could confirm that the endp...

The user can change accounts if they want before clicking "Allow". You may want to set force_reapprove=true though. Otherwise, Dropbox may automatically redirect them before that can do so. You can find more information on that parameter here:

Dropbox Community ModeratorThe /oauth2/authorize web page itself shows the user which account they're currently logged in to in the drop down in the upper right corner of the page. They can also switch which account they're logged in to by signing out and in there, before authorizing the app.
Thank you Greg for the kind explanation. <(_ _)>
When I use oauth2/authorize endpoint ...
with the parameter "response_type=code" and
without the parameter "redirect_uri=https://myWebpage.com"
I can get a code in the https://www.dropbox.com/1/oauth2/authorize_submit page.
As you wrote, there is a drop down in the upper right corner.
But in case I use the endpoint ...
with the parameter "response_type=token" and
with the parameter "redirect_uri=https://myWebpage.com"

- Greg-DBI'm not sure I understand what you mean when you say "it seems to be difficult to install the similar drop down in the private redirect_uri, doesn't it?"
Can you elaborate? If that's your own private page, you can design it however you'd like.Sorry for my bad writing. <(_ _)>
I'm not a native English speaker. :)And thanks to your kind advices, I have been able to figure out what I should do.
I would have liked the app-users to know what account he/she logged in, and to have chance to change accounts if he/she wants.
To achieve that, the best way seems to be ....
Step 1 : Get a CODE using the oauth2/authorize end point
Step 2 : Convert the CODE into a bearer token using the /oauth2/token end point
But at first, I was trying to get a bearer token using the oauth2/authorize end point with the parameter "response_type=token".
That seems to be my mistake.I appreciate your help. <(_ _)>
