[Solved] Cannot login with university Single Sign On (SSO) link code in Ubuntu 20.04
What I am trying to do: - install dropbox desktop app inside a Ubuntu 20.04 virtual machine
- sign in with my university account (umich provides dropbox SSO)
- set up a folder for selective sync...
OK managed to find a solution that worked for me posted by gnn https://www.dropboxforum.com/t5/Apps-and-Installations/Entering-Link-Code-After-Install-Ubuntu-18-04/m-p/371396/highlight/true#M21659
The working steps are then
1. open dropbox from system tray (command line also works)
2. Click Sign in from the top bar if it doesn't automatically open a browser for logging in
3. Sign in via the menu on the top right - do not sign in using the page body's forms since that will just create a link that you can't use.
4. It will take you to a page asking you if you would like to connect the computer to your dropbox account; select Connect
