I don't have a Dropbox account. I can access the following folder with a password in the browser. JD does not find anything, nor does it prompt for the password.

**External links are only visible to Support Staff****External links are only visible to Support Staff**
Password starts with Z: **External links are only visible to Support Staff****External links are only visible to Support Staff** (obfuscated in the form of a link so it isn't revealed publicly)

@mwl: Thanks for the report/link. Looks like dropbox changed something and password protected items are failing now. We will have to look into that.

This ticket will take a while.
Workarounds I found:

Workaround 1
If you are the uploader of this content, remove the password. JDownloader can then crawl that folder.

Workaround 2
1. Get a personal dropbox.com account (premium not required).
2. Open the password protected folder in your browser and enter the password.
3. Click on "Copy to dropbox".
If you get the error "You can't complete this operation because you'll run out of space." you will either need to buy a paid dropbox account or do these steps one by one for each subfolder/file [as long as the size of the file or contents of subfolder fit into your dropbox free account cloud space].

4. The content is now copied into your personal account so it is the same like you've uploaded it yourself.
Create a public share link without password.
5. Add that public link to JDownloader.

I've tested this with one subfolder of the password protected example folder and it worked.
However, I was unable to do this with the whole shared folder since it is too big to fit into the storage capacity of my dropbox.com free account.
