OAuth2 Flow in Chrome App fails
Hi, I'm working on a ChromeOS App that integrates with Dropbox. I can't get the OAuth2 token flow to work using chrome.identity.launchWebAuthFlow.

OAuth "trust this developer?" warning
Hi - I am wondering if there is any way / what has to happen to remove the "are you sure you trust this developer?" warning that pops up when you try to connect my app to Dropbox. Seeing as the app is only asking for permission to edit its own folder within Dropbox, I don't think it is that much of a security risk.
