Create DBX App Error

tdriver6 · ‎04-19-2023

I get the following error when trying to create an app:

<!DOCTYPE html> <html> <head><meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8"> <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1" /> <title>Dropbox - 403</title> <link href="https://cfl.dropboxstatic.com/static/metaserver/static/css/error.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css"/> <link rel="shortcut icon" href="https://cfl.dropboxstatic.com/static/images/favicon.ico"/> </head> <body> <div class="figure"> <img src="https://assets.dropbox.com/www/en-us/illustrations/spot/traffic-u-turn.svg" alt="Error: 403"/> </div> <div id="errorbox"> <h1>Error (403)</h1>It seems you don't belong here!

I have recreated this error on multiple devices and browsers.

Thanks for the report.

It looks like you're running in to an issue where the "I agree to Dropbox API Terms and Conditions" checkbox is sometimes not being shown if/when you have paired accounts. I'll ask the team to fix that.

For now, to work around that, you should be able to get this working by manually running the following in the JavaScript console after selecting an account in step 4:

$('#accept-tos-wrapper').style = "";

Then check the "I agree to Dropbox API Terms and Conditions" checkbox before clicking "Create app".

Apologies for the bother.
