The OAuth 2 spec requires that the redirect_uri values associated with an app be explicit.  This means you either need to include a separate redirect_uri for each subdomain, or use a single explicit one.  In scenarios like you describe where the subdomain is dynamic, we recommend encoding an identifier in the `state` parameter that will be returned as part of the OAuth redirect.  You can then use that same value to map the OAuth response to the appropriate subdmain.

If you are testing locally, you will want to use a redirect_uri that includes `localhost`.  This would be the URL domain in your browser window when testing locally.  Make sure your app configuration (accessible via https://www.dropbox.com/developers/apps ) has the localhost URL included in the `redirect_uri` list.

For more information on setting up your OAuth 2 flow, I recommend reading our OAuth guide.
