Dropbox Launches OpenID Connect in Preview
Dropbox has released OpenID Connect (OIDC) in preview, enabling developers to let users sign into their apps using their email-verified Dropbox identity. Built as a standard identity layer on top of OAuth 2, OIDC streamlines signup by reducing the steps required for a new user to get started.
End users benefit from a straightforward consent-screen flow, while applications receive basic user profile information upon successful authentication. Because OIDC is an open standard, developers can leverage a broad ecosystem of existing tools and libraries for integration.
Dropbox has published a new OpenID Connect Guide with implementation details for developers interested in adopting the preview feature.
