Sometime oauth api login with google lose redirect_uri
When i load oauth2 login api /oauth2/authorize using webview on android
https://www.dropbox.com/oauth2/authorize?client_id=qXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX5&response_type=code&token_access_type=offline&redirect_uri=https://wxx.xxxxxx.com/xxxxplusxxxxxxx/filemanager/&state=SXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXy6mvLyb
Then the next screen will lead to https://accounts.google.com/v3/signin/identifier
But sometimes url is missing redirect_uri query parameter
So in the end it doesn't boot redirect
https://accounts.google.com/v3/signin/identifier?continue=https%3A%2F%2Faccounts.google.com%2Fgsi%2Fselect%3Fclient_id%3D8XXXXXXXX5.apps.googleusercontent.com%26auto_select%3Dfalse%26ux_mode%3Dpopup%26ui_mode%3Dbottom_sheet%26context%3Dsignup%26as%3Dxfy%252ByJw%2F7r4cl6V%2Fq6fg%252BQ%26channel_id%3D93176f5e1280e5820caffd3d33e5d0931839bead2e50f796948e5e7c88c123a9%26origin%3Dhttps%3A%2F%2Fwww.dropbox.com&faa=1&ifkv=AXo7B7VC28jbTlCcaprh2J09aKW0ihNJf8P3pRQpTbuZb3hzceienHBgZ133nDxCG1UQL-M3u4pK&flowName=GlifWebSignIn&flowEntry=ServiceLogin&dsh=S-2029173536%3A1692770659017967
At this time, the user continues to enter the account password, and finally redirects to
https://accounts.google.com/gsi/select?client_id=8XXXXXXX5.apps.googleusercontent.com&auto_select=false&ux_mode=popup&ui_mode=card&context=signup&as=YLtRqbruo5lXSaz2hgisWA&channel_id=7484801cfcc61ed37c1fa778d14909d04b2970a15951d9119cb4b66bad8475a1&origin=https://www.dropbox.com&authuser=0
This page is not I want to redirect
The correct page is
https://accounts.google.com/v3/signin/identifier?opparams=%253F&dsh=S1711737748%3A1692770746913896&access_type=offline&client_id=8XXXXXXX5.apps.googleusercontent.com&include_granted_scopes=true&o2v=1&prompt=select_account&redirect_uri=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.dropbox.com%2Fgoogle%2Fauthcallback&response_type=code&scope=email+profile&service=lso&state=AFKHGqtkNiNp0F9V4r0bAt0PS2zYjCQm_OUHMiJXbyrP-Gb0R-XDxaNXJnKb_sx7BQ6Tp-oCRUA3I6wS6Z0O-ZEp_N-_fuBuXDjtJ32DWRJtN2PocukA1XeH3pjO_tf0_NAnjlA4R48m7eggDDE6muct3vxDuL_FzSPXyJNKGlrz9ReXm01SP60L1I1Idj4-JAKbuBu_SkdIxrszQq5YprjofQBMyYbV6GEUzncbteJ8EuR6Z7LgRFPrFHlTVLU5AZwNmT8WPSJKH5QxEyCVHUkpKY5rlpHkCX_Q1R4hBniu7fTRt4ffvpn8m00o-a4zjCDne-ywxhD2emOG8mFILSwY-4xYBJAzq-1vPJ6Wrxp4ZlZDCrDCAHi3Mew6DVONP2UJjdKQnpvpjwYxuH-H5PpemGWaUAUDdj2WZIeV1pjmeyZu3rSZ9TtjMH8Ioedq31GuXlUTtw6jrJkLLiBuBFKFKMg0tXGH041Jk9AGxSSvpLzxpBXYCx--0bynjXaRt9oFXq0nVcabSJ-xPjqH0oMAp-PSDmqGPkKib__5v4H8kn76DxGv11XMprM9m2KOnDsHXAUo_3u4hdKs5UMJSkbt8ggBEXh5G5elcqDnlRQTJEktxRor45KLu627myARjQwKJTkoeCtq7jSCjbriIjLn-js8bBQ_-HboqtbL6tmnNXGSMJItH81mewpx7PMKjb6WxVhw90sR8Jnd731VJxc0EGevSCOlbOvXtvud6ZxVuhRiQFZu9v3ps6kairjjmF4&flowName=GeneralOAuthFlow&continue=https%3A%2F%2Faccounts.google.com%2Fsignin%2Foauth%2Fconsent%3Fauthuser%3Dunknown%26part%3DAJi8hAO223w3DHgdZBehdvH1WFH2rn2rhFgwzswNQv0odncSimx7bD0piKSul0fuKCTCdF4CAWxSC0v_07AK64R6kNGPpePUg1wj1NTIqfI0D554WrLetaRXPsqAi44VL-Cd2bWEJcYYFMFHsKf1ccNcfXqr_BIfm9oCcxjhiej8QCuW_Dk7u2TTjCUOpZ-NwrK-Fs8NADrvxkkWqLrXJ1sKNZdTYXP8p4rOcfojXMevjIsn673HHV4c6L0b1rmyu6M1J4x6oGZXjRvQZq0URlIP2uKjaCO-GoJhVxv86WMw9MyIYts4eEfDIf_goETo2qqsvl_yB_vGCa23IF2QhCXQ8Xr55ffXgy15JSFfW6z8VrLDBt_TU38SzmzpmJTmmixBvyJWRG9_EiB4jt6HkT6aC7lPzNLdn4XHooG7x9FXhV7ubvJ6Iz4%26as%3DS1711737748%253A1692770746913896%26client_id%3D801668726815.apps.googleusercontent.com%23&app_domain=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.dropbox.com&rart=ANgoxccP85GOamR0pKAbJb_S-3rDopEwK5HSneM1fYm54g_7NVJ8-e7pe77OW3x_ZsYID1vQUZAm-xezfrf-gczA4Elsyym2aA
Unfortunately, when the error occurs,
it occurs with high frequency and is very unstable, and continues to make it difficult for users to log in with google accounts
How can i fix this?

Thanks for the report. Dropbox does not support using the Dropbox /oauth2/authorize page in web views though. Please update your app to use a supported system web browser. If you're still seeing this issue with a supported system web browser, please let us know.
But if we need a friendlier user experience
We will need to use webivew
Does dropbox have plans to support webview?
or at least provide the version number of the webview that can run- Greg-DB
No, Dropbox does not have plans to support webviews for the app authorization flow, and accordingly we cannot provide any specific webview versions that are expected to work.
