I have seen this documentation before and there is not a single mention of the fact that Web Authentication Broker is prohibited to use (and this obviously could not be, because Google themselves support it) or that it is the same as Web View. 

Please share with me the contact of a person in Dropbox who can explain: Why do you think Web Authentication Broker is a Web View? I consider it necessary to escalate this issue since the interests of a fairly large number of users suffer. Only we have tens of thousands of them, and there are many applications similar to ours.
