To clarify, is "https://www.dropbox.com/oauth2/authorize" the full URL of the page where this stops, or are there also more parameters on that? Please share the full URL if there is more to it. If you can also share the URL before processing the Google Sign in flow that may be helpful. Feel free to open an API ticket here if you'd prefer to share privately. Thanks!

if i login with Google and the password is saved on Chrome (Android), the following url will on the page

“yourApp would like to ….” from DropBox appears

https://www.dropbox.com/oauth2/authorize?client_id=xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx&redirect_uri=http%3A%2F%2F127.0.0.1%3A52475%2Fauthorize&response_type=code&token_access_type=offline#

and it works.

 

If i enter a unknown, but existing google account and the password, a page appears first to connenct the DropBox account with Google and then the “yourApp would like to ….” page from DropBox . In this case the address is 

https://www.dropbox.com/oauth2/authorize

The name of the app and the permissions are correct on this page.

    Thanks for following up. I can't seem to reproduce this issue though.

     

    In the broken case, is "https://www.dropbox.com/oauth2/authorize" definitely the full URL of the page? The browser may be hiding the rest of it. I wouldn't expect the app name and permissions to be shown there if there is no client_id parameter set.

     

    In any case, would you be able to share a screen recording of the issue? That would be helpful since this doesn't reproduce for me. Please make sure the full address bar is showing for reference. Apologies for the bother and thanks in advance!

      Yes, i think the url was in both cases the same.

       

      The issue also appears if i create a new DropBox account.

       

      I made a screen video.
