When we apply for production status for our App, we receive this email? How should we deal with it? Please give us some reference practice documents, thank you.

Per the official documentation, the Dropbox OAuth app authorization flow must be processed in the user's system web browser, not a web view. Exactly how you implement that will depend on your platform and programming language, so you'll need to refer to your platform's documentation for more information on how exactly to implement that in your environment.

 

Note that if you're using an official Dropbox SDK, it will handle most of the authorization process for you, so in that case be sure to refer to the relevant official SDK documentation and follow the instructions.

We are connecting to DropBox on Android app. How to do user authentication? Is there any reference document or code example? Thank you very much.

Yes, if you're using the official Dropbox Android SDK, you should use the functionality provided by the SDK as shown in the example that Здравко linked to.

 

If you're not using the official Dropbox Android SDK, you should refer to your platform's documentation.
