Because my main browsers are Chrome and firefox, I tried to log in this promotion dropbox once I removed the Edge on the control panel. But it is not still working.

I am experiencing the exact same issue with the Webview control in UWP, specifically in Xamarin developing in the UWP environment. Unless and until Microsoft can update the Webview control, Dropbox needs to continue supporting Edge 18 or there is no way to use the Dropbox API to authenticate a user to use Dropbox in our app any longer. There is no way, that I have found, to use the external browser in UWP to authorize a user and retrieve the token from the external browser. This is a breaking change that Dropbox has inflicted.
