OAuth: "Copy code" page accessibility
Hi,
The "copy code" OAuth screen may not work well with certain accessibility tools.
We're developing an Android app with a Dropbox sync option. One of our users is trying to sign in to Dropbox using a BrailleSense notetaker. After signing in, Dropbox redirects to the "copy code" page (oauth2/authorize_success). The user's notetaker is unable to copy the code — it "sees [the] text field as a field, which cannot be copied from".
Although I was able to copy the code using TalkBack on my own Android device, I used TalkBack's "Copy last spoken item" action.
We're looking into including a redirect_uri URL parameter to allow users to skip the "copy code" screen. However, it would be great if this could also be improved on Dropbox's website.
I'm linking to the downstream issue report: https://discourse.joplinapp.org/t/syncing-my-braillesense-notetaker-via-dropbox/43661.
Thank you for providing the Dropbox API!

I can certainly submit this feedback to the team as a feature request. I can't promise if or when that might be implemented however.
Just to clarify though, the text field containing the authorization code at oauth2/authorize_success is not "disabled", it is "readonly". Screen readers are able to see "readonly" elements and read their value.
