I'm using a Pixel 6 with Android version 12 updated 7/5/22.
I was trying to open an excel file on Dropbox with Excel.
It then brought me to this page saying "Sign in to Dropbox to link with Microsoft Office Integration" in the Excel app.
I chose "Sign in with Google" since that's how my Dropbox was setup.
After entering my email and password, it told me "You do not have any security keys registered for this account.", so I chose "Try another way".
Then I chose "Tap Yes on your phone or tablet", which then caused Google to send me a notification asking "Are you trying to sign in?"
I chose "Yes, that's me.", then the Authorization Error page showed up, with the following message:
Authorization Error
Error 403: disallowed_useragent

@Walter Android. This is the error. I just bought a new phones, I can log into Dropbox and see my files, but if I try to open them with Word or Excel I can't.
Thanks for the screenshot @Julia24
Can you walk me through the exact steps you take that result in this error?
Are you previewing the files via a web browser or directly through the mobile app on your phone?

None of the recommended fixes in this thread worked for me, and it was really starting to drive me nuts! So then I tried this: Instead of clicking the "Login with Google" button at the Dropbox login prompt from within MS Office on my Galaxy S20 FE, I simply logged in using the same GMail username and password from the regular login page. And it worked perfectly.
Before going crazy resetting cookies, uninstalling and re-installing apps, factory resetting your phone or giving up and switching to an iPhone (gasp!!), try using your GMail creds as a normal login instead of the "Login using Google" button.
Hi @anurtd354,
Thanks for visiting the Dropbox community. Sorry to hear you are having this issue. I can see that @MrBeanley was also experiencing something similar and seems to have found a workaround for it. Have you tried the method he outlined above? Please let us know if this works for you too.
Thanks again and have a great day!
