Does Dropbox remove trailing slash at the end of an url?
Hi all,
recently we've relaunched a new website: link removed
However the Authorization process in Dropbox for a specific link link removed isn't working as intended.
Here's how it works:
However according to someone in our engineering team calling this url in dropbox does remove the trailing slash at the end leading of this link: link removed resulting in the process to fail.
I'm not an expert on this so : What should we do? We recreated the site from scratch in webflow.
We used this code on the page to enforce the trailing slash at the end:
Any help/ideas would be really appreciated 🙂
Edit: Here is the javascript code
<script> var url = document.location.href; url = url.replace(/\/?$/, '/'); window.history.pushState('', '', url); </script>How it works:

It looks like you're referring to the step where Dropbox redirects the user back to the URI you specify in the redirect_uri parameter you set on /oauth2/authorize.
I just checked on this, and it does not appear Dropbox itself is removing the trailing "/" from that URL. I reproduced this, and looking at the log of the network requests, I see that Dropbox is redirecting the user to the supplied redirect URL including the trailing "/", and then your server is itself returning another redirect to a URL without the trailing "/". Please see the attached screenshots:
If you don't want the trailing "/" removed, you'll need to update your server's code to remove that behavior. That's out of our control as that would be in your code, so I can't offer help on the specifics for doing so.
