Hi Greg,

 

Thanks a lot for your response! Since it seemed to work before (I made some changes to my server), I retracted my changes to my code and now am getting a slightly different version of this error which is as follows. It happens when dropbox tries to redirect to my callback function. It seems like my server refuses to accept the redirect back from dropbox:
XMLHttpRequest cannot load https://www.dropbox.com/oauth2/authorize?client_id=...&response…..&redirect_uri=https%3A%2F%2Flocalhost%3A3443%2Fcallback. No 'Access-Control-Allow-Origin' header is present on the requested resource. Origin 'https://localhost:3443' is therefore not allowed access.

Any ideas? Does your response from before still apply to this case? 
Many thanks for your time.

As far as I can tell, the only difference between the two errors is the redaction, so I don't have any new insight to offer here.
