It looks like there was a network issue connecting to the Dropbox API. Are you still getting the error? If so, there's likely a problem with the network connection on that machine preventing you from connecting to api.dropbox.com. Do you know if there's any security software, firewall, etc. that may be doing so? You can try connecting directly to api.dropbox.com to see where the problem might be, e.g., via:

$ curl api.dropbox.com
