Hi JHB3,
As a workaround, you may try prepend dropbox in address link with "www." and see if that works. For instance the second address may look like: https://www.dropbox.com/desktop/oauth2?code=gbvf1MCDJ_oAAAAAAAAQrJ8SeOG1B8qlCu3AML7jUBw&state=DO-H1d2-RZ_GyFBEPJNe6mGKxTTxKlcZYdyCUI52PdA
Good luck.

Hi JHB3,
I did a Free Website Uptime Test for dropbox.com
that gave me a TCP Connection Error for Hamburg and Berlin.
Are you accessing from these locations too?

The www did not work for me either. It seems that this call is not supported at www.dropbox.com.
But what worked for me on Saturday was to use a IPv6 network, just in case your network is able do speak IPv6. A global proxy setting which does not use the non working router visible from Hamburg/Berlin could do the same. I suppose, the proxy can be revoked when having linked the App.

It is supported, definitely! Even more, when the domain is without leading 3w, a redirect should come that redirect to there and may show up something like:
I don't know why this doesn't work for you though. It doesn't matter are you using IPv4 or IPv6.

Ah, my redirection call on an Windows machine here is slightly different and contains a code challenge and a code challenge method. I obfusicated the code parts with foo_x/y in the lines below, but used them here of course. The redirection call gives a "Server Not Found"
