Connecting Laverna
Hello,
I cant connect Laverna to Dropbox. Used exactly this https://www.reallinuxuser.com/laverna-is-a-private-evernote-alternative-for-linux/, but unsuccesfully. Can someone help me? Thank you
Error (400)It seems the app you were using submitted a bad request. If you would like to report this error to the app's developer, include the information below.
More details for developers
unknown field "dropboxKey"
We can't provide support for Laverna itself, as that's not made by Dropbox, but we're happy to help with any issues on the Dropbox side.
It sounds like you're trying to access the /oauth2/authorize page to authorize the app, and the app is supplying a parameter named "dropboxKey". That's not an expected parameter though, per the /oauth2/authorize documentation. Based on the name, that's probably supposed to be the "client_id" parameter.
You may need to update the app's configuration to have it set that correctly (or modify the URL manually if you can). For help configuring the app, please reach out to its developer.
