Dropbox Oauth Login issue on Electron client for Recording Jitsi Video Conferences #263

Hi Dropbox team! Wanted to follow up with this post (https://github.com/dropbox/dropbox-sdk-js/issues/242) from early 2019 regarding support for Dropbox OAuth inside apps running in the Electron client.

We've been using the RocketChat Electron client app and its integration with Jitsi video conferencing. Jitsi provides a way to save video sessions to Dropbox via OAuth and it looks like they tried to do some tweaking to get everything working with Dropbox OAuth:

Jitsi-Meet: dropbox-auth in Electron https://github.com/jitsi/jitsi-meet/commit/55149670da4d56a6242e16c09977d40f44c54674

Unfortunately for us, the Dropbox OAuth window seems to hang and turn completely white when attempting OAuth in the Electron client

I checked here to see if there had been any more recent changes: https://github.com/jitsi/jitsi-meet/tree/master/react/features/dropbox

I've already posted on Jitsi's side, but wanted to reach out here in case there was any pertinent info needed from Dropbox's side too.

Thanks for writing this up. I don't have any updates on this on the Dropbox side unfortunately. The Dropbox API v2 JavaScript SDK hasn't been updated to officially support Electron.
