Unable to synchronise Joplin. Giving authorisation error.

Hi, when I use Joplin and try to synchronise with Dropbox, its is giving me an error.

could not authorise application: request to api.dropboxapi.com/oauth2/token failed, reason: Please try again


In Joplin, i have selected Dropbox and and it provided me the link for authentication. When navigating to the link, I am successfully getting the code for authorisation. when i paste this link into Joplin Dropbox sync page, it waits for 5 sec or so and gives this error.

Linux
sync

    Hi rd2ioss,

    That appears to be an issue with the Joplin Dropbox integration. Our recommendation is to reach out to their support team for further assistance. Dropbox is not able to provide support for third-party apps.
