    Description

      Accessing a dropbox repository provides a button to log into the account.  Clicking on the button produces a pop-up which contains the text:

      Error (400)

      It seems the app you were using submitted a bad request. If you would like to report this error to the app's developer, include the information below.

      More details for developers

      No scope requested can be granted for this app.

      I followed normal instructions to create an API/Key on the Dropbox Developer site as per Moodle docs.

      This was raised by a client on 3.6.10 and I have also tested on 3.9.3 with the same issue.

      Someone else has already raised this with the Dropbox support and the discussion is here - https://www.dropboxforum.com/t5/Discuss-Dropbox-Developer-API/Dropnbox-for-Moodle/td-p/469782
