Re: Cannot authorize desktop app, desktop/oauth2 always return 500

Having exactly the same problem here - cannot auth desktop app. Page dropbox.com/oauth2/authorize loads slowly, then I click "Allow" and get ERR_CONNECTION_TIMED_OUT.

I have found a solution. After the browser window is opened edit url and add www. in front. www.dropbox.com/oauth2/authorize is working, dropbox.com/oauth2/authorize is not. Something's wrong with SSL I guess.
