Dropbox Passwords extension on Brave Browser

[fcmarques]

I have just installed the Dropbox Passwords app on my Mac, but i can't get its extension to work on Brave Browser, as I get the "Desktop app required" error. I have tried installing the extension both before and after the application, and after a system reboot as well. Is there something I'm doing wrong or is there really no support for a Brave extension?

Hi there @fcmarques, I hope you're well today!

At the moment, the browser extension isn't currently supported on Brave. 

The currently supported browsers for this are Firefox, Google Chrome, Microsoft Edge and Safari, as per this article.

Having said that, when you mentioned having the app installed, are you referring the the Passwords app or the Dropbox Desktop app?

Let me know - thanks!

Hey, Daphne, thanks for the reply. Yeah, I was referring to the Dropbox Passwords App, and when the extension is installed on Brave, it really doesn't seem to reach the Applications Folder to check if it is installed.

Well, that's a bummer, I was really hoping that since it works on Google Chrome, it would be available to Chromium-based browsers too. Is there currently any intention to bring the extension to other browsers?

Thanks
