Can't login with the desktop client

I got a new MacBook M3 and am trying to install the Dropbox client again. However, if I open the sign-on link in the browser, it runs into an error. It looks as if Dropbox' sign-on mechanism is broken? I'm in Sweden, if that matters. I tried to login using different browsers (Chrome vs. Safari), both showed the error. I am a developer myself, so I guess I know what I'm doing 🙂

    Hey waldgeist! Thanks for posting here.

     

    As a first, can you send me a full screenshot of the error you keep receiving? 

     

    Let me know, when you’re ready.

    Hi Nancy, after a couple of hours, I was able to login again. I assume this was a temporary problem.
