Thanks for the report! It looks like this is failing because you're missing the 'response_type' parameter. You can find more information on the parameters in the documentation for /oauth2/authorize.
We support "token" and "code" as the values for 'response_type', so for example you might use one of these:
- https://www.dropbox.com/oauth2/authorize?client_id=fo7d5lzzuql1161&redirect_uri=https://localhost/test/dropbox&response_type=token
- https://www.dropbox.com/oauth2/authorize?client_id=fo7d5lzzuql1161&redirect_uri=https://localhost/test/dropbox&response_type=code
I'll ask the team to fix that up so it returns a better error message when 'response_type' is omitted though.
