Hi guys,
Seems like dropbox changed from v1 to v2 recently, and since then the connection is giving a error 400 return code.is there an update foreseen for the component or is there a workaround?
hmm I just tested it and it all worked fine.

Maybe try creating a new connection?

I never used the RM dropbox connector but Dropbox has been changing it's API.
Nope. I actually already tried with new connection. It failed on my server giving me following :
could not connect to Dropbox. reason {error:v1 retired}
Then I created a new account, worked fine but when testing I got error 400.
Looking at this page : https://blogs.dropbox.com/developers/2017/09/api-v1-shutdown-details/
it mentions both v1 and error 400 so my wild guess is that the dropbox component uses v1 instead. No clue how you got it working but I'm not as lucky.
hmm interesting. I was doing it on Studio, not Server. Maybe try Studio so we can isolate?
Studio shows 'could not connect blablabla, unexpected response code 400'
So it works on neither one of them, but the returned errors are just different.
hello @kayman - ok I started from scratch and created a new connection, new token, etc.. It all works as expected. I know that's very frustrating to hear and I don't know what else to tell you. Perhaps firewall?
Nope, I have it on both my test server (7.5 ubuntu / open connection) as production server (7.6 ubuntu server / windows studio / proxy)Maybe it is a pashed roll out from Dropbox, last week it still worked for me so could also be location based.
