API v2 does operate differently than API v1, so the way you call it will be different. The URL https://api.dropboxapi.com/2/users/get_current_account is the right endpoint for getting the user's account information via API v2. You can find the documentation for it here:

 

https://www.dropbox.com/developers/documentation/http/documentation#users-get_current_account

 

It requires a POST request, such as seen in the curl example in the documentation there:

 

curl -X POST https://api.dropboxapi.com/2/users/get_current_account \
    --header "Authorization: Bearer ACCESS_TOKEN_HERE"
