What is the problem you are having with rclone?
I'm trying to use --dropbox-client-credentials, but it doesn't seem to work. More to the point, I don't think it can work, because as far as I can tell, Dropbox does not support the client_credentials OAuth flow.
Assuming Dropbox does not, in fact, support this flow, what is the purpose of the flag?
Run the command 'rclone version' and share the full output of the command.
