I have considered doing authentication inside a "webview" (a small dedicated web browser) inside CC so that no device web browser would be involved. This would eliminate the redirection problem and the "what should be used to finish" dialog, at the cost of not keeping authentication cookies or saved passwords. In other words, you would need to log in again every time you clear cloud connection information. What do you think?

NB: I asked on the Dropbox forum if there was any way to use the Dropbox app to authenticate and give permissions without using their SDK, something that is an even better solution. Nobody has answered. That might change when Monday happens on the west coast of the US. We will see.
Webview is ok if you can't get an answer about Dropbox.
