Thanks for following up. I'm glad to hear you got this working. The original error is expected if the authorization flow is processed in an web view. That's not officially supported so you should not so, and the current version of the SDK should not do so anyway.

 

Anyway, the second error is a different problem and is a known issue with the official Dropbox Android app itself when running on Android 11 or later. The team is working on that. One can temporarily uninstall the app to work around the issue, as you mentioned.

      This should be fixed in the latest version of the official Dropbox Android app, v262.2.2. Please update to that and let us know if you're still seeing any issues. Thanks!
