Thanks @mokhosh and @rayj-pgi. This seems similar to the issue we had with Google Drive. I will try to prioritise this. Thank you.

@sallar This might require us to consider browser-based authentication for all services rather than the in-app browser.

is there a workaround I can do? I've been without any of my passwords on my new laptop for a few weeks now...

@rayj-pgi Sync your dropbox using the official Dropbox client and then just load the vault as a local file.. This would be how I expect most Dropbox users would interact with their vaults - over the direct Dropbox connection. The connection is there for convenience if there's some reason they don't want to sync the files locally.

That being said this issue is still important to us, but we'd hope that someone might have the time to debug it and possibly submit a fix.
