I typically set my browser to clear cookies every session. Is there any provision for such a scenario? The authentication flow seems to suggest that if the browser was closed and cookies cleared, the user would not be allowed to install Dropbox.

The ultimate fallback always is to revert to letting user sign in manually. Installation success doesn't depend on cookies, so that should be just fine.
