Based on the error message you posted, this is failing because your machine was unable to look up the 'content.dropboxapi.com' host. That's the correct hostname, and it is resolving correctly for me.

That being the case it appears to be an issue with your DNS server, which is out of our control. Please check on your DNS server to see why it is not returning a result for content.dropboxapi.com.
