Hi.

It might be a little off topic, but i've bumped into this issue migrating from v1 to v2:

after getting the auth code from this endpoint:

https://www.dropbox.com/oauth2/authorize

and getting the token from this endpoint:
https://api.dropbox.com/oauth2/token

i am trying to get user's display name. as far as i understand you've changed user endpoint to this one:

https://api.dropboxapi.com/2/users/get_current_account

but all i get from api is this:

{protocol=http/1.1, code=400, message=Bad Request, url=https://api.dropboxapi.com/2/users/get_current_account}

Please give me hints if you have any.
