DropBox - Unable to access

Configured a Dropbox drive using the gui, after configuring the drive I tried to access the DropBox drive. This failed. I also tried to list the root files on the drive this also fails. NOTE: DropBox account indicates that the app rclone has been authorized for, well everything.

Thanks.

I pulled down a copy of the 1.55 beta dropbox fix deb and that works.

good to know.

@ncw, that beta has helped another rcloner....

Ah good. I wonder if it should be in a point release? 1.54.1 - Dropbox have obviously just changed the Auth so users are starting to notice.

Yes. It would be nice to see a fix pushed into a full release.

I'll put that in a point release. You can try a pre-release 1.54.1 here

v1.54.1-beta.5148.f76bc86cc.v1.54-stable on branch v1.54-stable (uploaded in 15-30 mins)

Trying it out now. So, far so good.
