DBX JS SDK via Access Token not working for multiple users

The files are small, images (jpgs, pngs), and pdfs, etc.
We are both running the back-end and front-end of our applications on individual machines. I'm aware that sharing the key maybe isn't "preferred" but I don't see how sharing one key in .env variables between two or three groups is a big deal. I'm less able to see why we can't use our credentials to the same effect. Only I can have the full access I'd like and it's frustrating.

Dropbox Community ModeratorFrom a technical perspective, it should certainly be possible to use the same access token in multiple places like this.
So, to help narrow this down, can you confirm it's the 'filesUpload' call in particular that doesn't complete? Does the 'filesListFolder' call work or not?
Since the code is running in each individual machine, I suspect there's some environmental issue interfering with the connections. Can your team mates check if something on their machines is causing this, such as a proxy, firewall, anti-virus, or other such software?
