What happens when Storage Studio opens my browser to sign in?
Short answer: It opens your default browser at the provider's own sign-in page, so your password goes to Google or Dropbox, not to Storage Studio. Pick the account, approve access, and the app finishes adding it on its own.
Storage Studio opens your default browser at the provider's own sign-in page, so you type your password into Google or Dropbox — never into Storage Studio. You choose the account, approve access, and the app picks the connection up automatically.
The Add Account sheet tells you which browser it will use ("Will open in your default browser: …") and then walks through Starting, Opening browser, Awaiting sign-in and Saving account before showing a green check. Only one browser tab opens.
If the browser didn't open, click Reopen URL while the sheet is waiting. When you're done, the tab shows a "You're connected" page — see that page explained.
