Wiki instructions to sync Laverna with Dropbox don't work #878

Hi, I followed your instructions on syncing laverna to dropbox by creating an API key and all. After adding my key to the laverna app as the final step I get the following error below:

Error (400)
It seems the app you were using submitted a bad request. If you would like to report this error to the app's developer, include the information below.

More details for developers

Invalid redirect_uri. It must exactly match one of the redirect URIs you've pre-configured for your app (including the path).

I also tried and it happens the same for me. If this project alive?? I just see 4 pull request and no one reviews it. I want to contribute but I don't know if this project is still alive

@shezaan, do you self-host?

Experiecing the same here.

shezaan commented 6 years ago

@wwebfor yes I used to. Now I have turned to turtlapp.com

I finally figure it out... You need to add 127.0.0.1:9000 together with localhost:9000 in the redirect url...

How to connect Laverna with Dropbox?

If you don't have a Dropbox account, create one at https://www.dropbox.com/
Login to the Dropbox API (https://www.dropbox.com/developers ) with your Dropbox account
Go to "My Apps" -> "Create App"
Select "Dropbox API", "App folder" and choose a name for your app after that
Go in the Settings of your app
In Redirect URIs, add "http://localhost:9000/" and "https://laverna.cc/app/" and "http://localhost:9000/dropbox.html" (both without quotes)
Allow implicit grant
Open Laverna and go to Settings -> Sync
Select Dropbox as Cloud storage
Copy the App key from your Dropbox app to the Dropbox API key text field in Laverna

Now Laverna should sync to your Dropbox account.
