The Dropbox Saver doesn't support blob URLs, but I'll pass this along as a feature request.

Thanks for your reply. I guess, I'll just hide the button for now.

Is there any specific place/page/channel I can follow to see if/when this feature is maybe added?

        I got lost in the same blob trap, but found a solution...

        csvFile = build up a string of the whole file...

        const dataURI = 'data:text/plain,' + encodeURIComponent(csvFile);
        Dropbox.save(dataURI, "filename.csv", options);
