Opening Dropbox on the web, selecting a file, and clicking the "Download" button doesn't trigger the download.

Not even the dialog to select the destination folder opens.

A dialog should appear to select where to save the file.

    Vlad 🤔

    The first paragraph of my message and the recording both tell how to reproduce.

    1. Opening Dropbox on the web
    2. Selecting a file
    3. Clicking the "Download" button doesn't trigger the download

        I believe I can reproduce this in Dropbox from a free account, trying to download any file from within the Dropbox account.

        The issue (as seen above) persists, even when enabling compatibility mode. It seems there might be a Content Security Policy feature being used that Orion doesn't recognise?

        Also, the error "Not allowed to download due to sandboxing" does sound likely to be part of the issue.

        If you look at the "Network" tab in developer tools, you can see that the request for the filename itself gives a basic HTML page, which has some basic HTML/JS to attempt to fetch it from a url. That URL works if fetched manually from your logged-in context, so the issue appears to be Orion and how it handles this.

        Reproduction steps:

        1. Create a free Dropbox account.
        2. Upload a PDF or JPG file to the root of your Dropbox folder.
        3. Try to download it, as shown from the video - using the ... menu and "download" as one method.
        4. Open F12 developer tools, in the Console, and see the errors.
        5. Open the Network tab in developer tools, and repeat trying to download. Note the request for your filename returning a page that should, if the script is run, retrieve the file from a temporary URL.

          @romuloalves @gp could you check how downloading files off Dropbox works on Safari and Safari TP for you and compare those results to mine below. I am not super familiar with Dropbox so please let me know if I missed some crucial step.

          Safari TP (Release 210 (Safari 18.2, WebKit 20621.1.8.111.2), downloading is not working

          Safari Version 18.2 (20620.1.16.11.8), downloading works as expected

          Currently this looks like an issue with WebKit versions above 620.1.16.11.8 and something that should be reported to https://bugs.webkit.org
