Dropbox StaffThanks! That's helpful. While your app is registered for all scopes, that authorization URL includes the "scope" parameter but doesn't actually specify any scopes to use, leading to that error.
The app should specify just the scopes it needs on that authorization URL. You may want to check with the developer of the app to see why it isn't doing that, or have them update it to set that properly.
To work around this though, if you just want to authorize all of the scopes you enabled for the app, you can do so by removing the "&scope" from the end of the URL.
We do recommend only enabling and authorizing the specific scope(s) needed for the app though. And, if you're not a Dropbox Business admin and don't want to connect an entire team, you'll also want to disable any "team" scopes you enabled for the app first.
Dear Greg
Thank you for your reply. I worked but there are still some difficulties. I was wondering if there is also a solution for that.
when I get the Error 400, I have to copy and paste the link into a new tab because the Error's tab does not allow me to change the URL. So I have to copy & paste the URL into a new tab then I can sign in and access my files. Furthure more, I have to do this everytime I need to use my dropbox via moodle app :))) and it time consuming and really a pain.
Hi Freddy shaddy,
Where are you generating these URLs? You shouldn't change already generated URL by hand, but have to correct the code in a way the "scopes" field doesn't participate anymore.
Hope this adds clarity to Greg-DB description.

Freddy shaddy Здравко is correct, this should ideally corrected in the third party app's code itself. If you're not the developer of the app, you may want to reach out to them to request they update the app accordingly.
thank both of you, unfortunatelly I don't have any experience in app development related stuff. I'm not sure if I know someone who is an expert in this field. the app that I use is moodle, it is a web base learning environment. it works on wamp. do you have any information about moodle?
