pkce web auth does not work

[programmer]

I have app and want to authorize using this url:

https://www.dropbox.com/oauth2/authorize?token_access_type=offline&response_type=code&code_challenge...

After that I chose "sign in with google", chose my google account, enter password, and as a result I get the same page

https://www.dropbox.com/oauth2/authorize?client_id=up9dc6vspz96ghi&code_challenge=_6rj6cf1qTS7Ia6slq...

I tried to use 2 different google accounts: the result is the same.

Just about 2 days ago authorization did work. Now I can't authorize.

It looks like the issue here is that the app you're attempting to authorize has team scopes, but the account you're signing in to is not on a team, and so cannot connect an app with team scopes.

Accordingly, you're being prompted to sign in again with a team account in order to connect the app. Normally, when signing in with Dropbox credentials, the page would show an error message indicating as much. This doesn't appear to be displayed when using the Google Sign In flow though. I'll ask the team to fix that up to show the error in that case as well.

So, to authorize this app, you'd need to either sign in to a team account, or not request team scopes.

Thank you Greg. I am really surprised how soon dropbox tech support replied! Compared with google (google drive), they don't answer at all. Moreover -- dropbox is faster and works better for my app than Google Drive, at least as far as I can see while testing!

Hello, Greg. I am sorry that I write this in here but I had created a ticket on 15 august 2023 and still have not got any answer:

Could you please help me with that?

Thanks.

@programmer I just checked on that ticket, and I see it did receive a response from support yesterday. Please make sure the email address registered to your account is correct and can receive email, and check your spam folder.

I am sorry but I did not get any messages. Please could they just send me response once more to my email. Actually I got notified email on your recent reply:
