    Hi pp111​ and De L.1​,

    The engineering team has updated me, and the issue was related to a recent migration.

    They’ve informed me that the issue should now be resolved, and you should be able to use the force_reauthentication=true or prompt=login parameter with the Auth URL for the OAuth authorization flow. We appreciate your patience as we worked through this case.

iNeil​, thank you for looking into it.

Please let us know if the engineering team has an estimation on when they can fix the issue (hours, days, weeks...). Our applications are thick Windows and Mac applications that can not implement the workaround easily because it would require to update and install it on thousands of computers. 

We are trying to decide if we should wait for Dropbox to fix it, or we should distribute an update with the workaround to all the computers, so any estimation will be very helpful.
