Dropbox API Support & Feedback
Find help with the Dropbox API from other developers.
oAuth 2.0 has stopped working from electron client v1.8.4 (Chromium client, in Windows and Mac), for direct Dropbox accounts. Right now it only works with Google accounts. Are you experiencing troubles with this?
Thank you!
@chrisgch Thanks for the report. Unfortunately, similar to the original report on this thread, processing the OAuth app authorization flow in a web view, not the system browser itself, is not supported.
Per the Dropbox /oauth2/authorize documentation, we do not support processing the OAuth app authorization flow in web views. (This decision was made in order to support the Google Sign In flow for signing in to Dropbox. That may still work at the moment, but Google has deprecated it, so it will stop working in the future.)
That being the case, you should update your app to process the OAuth app authorization flow in the system browser instead.
@chrisgch I'm afraid the Android 4.3 system browser (which seems to be based on Webkit 534.30) isn't officially supported either, given how old it is. I recommend having your users upgrade to a more recent version.
