I think the last reply of this post answers the question: #M11267 .

Is it correct that if the Dropbox app is not installed then openURL is not called?

    That code will only get run once the user returns to your app after authorizing it in the app authorization flow. Are you successfully completing the app authorization flow?

    First, please make sure you've implemented all of the pieces as documented here:

    https://github.com/dropbox/SwiftyDropbox#handling-the-authorization-flow

    Note that whether the flow is handled by the browser or by the official Dropbox app, the flow works the same way; the user is redirected back to your app, and that code block should be run.
