By "CEF", I believe you're referring to Chromium Embedded Framework. Please note that this is not officially supported for processing the Dropbox app authorization flow, which should only be processed in the user's system browser.

 

It sounds like you also saw this issue in Edge itself though, which is supported. I just tried the /oauth2/authorize URL you shared, plugging in a valid client ID, redirect URI, and state value, and it worked in that same version of Edge for me though. 

 

If you're still seeing this issue in Edge, we'll be happy to look into it, but we'll need a way to reproduce the issue. Can you share the steps and a full URL where we can reproduce it? Feel free to open an API ticket if you'd prefer to share privately. Thanks!

    Hi Greg,

    Thanks again!
