The Dropbox API will return a more specific error message in the response body; print the full response body to see the cause.

someoneknew Thanks for the additional information. This screenshot doesn't seem to show the actual response body from the Dropbox API though. The "400" is just the status code of the response from the Dropbox API, but the response would also contain a body, which isn't being shown here. You may need to check the documentation for the client you're using to see how you can print out the response body as well.
(In any case, it looks like you're sending the parameters as JSON, but the parameters for /oauth2/token should be sent as application/x-www-form-urlencoded POST parameters, not JSON.)
