I´m actually having the same problem. “The request to link this app is invalid” and was thinking about the API, maybe it´s been re-coded and the plugin´s got an old url for being detected.

Maybe the issue should be in this function: (file pressbox-api.php)

function lh_pressbox_get_account_info( $ connection) {
$data = $ connection-> get (‘account/info’);

I have found the same problem on connecting. Dropbox displays the message “The request to link this app is invalid”

Man!

Out there there’s no plugin like this one. This is awesome and there are . But it has to be fixed. Don’t know if you are on it, but please do fix it.

My 2 cents worth: I am having the same problem.

error message is: The request to link the app is invalid.

1. it doesn’t matter what choice of dropbox access I specify (AppFolder only… or Full Dropbox)
2. it doesn’t matter if I use FireFox, Safari, or Chrome (latest versions)
3. emptying my cache first,.. helps not.
4. reversing the Key and Secret (it was worth a try) helps not.
5. on firefox, the error console reveals nothing useful

Curiously… If I am NOT logged into DropBox in the browser,.. BEFORE I see the error message, I DO* first get “An application wants to link… ” blah blah. But on login,.. no go.

I’m also having the problem with “The request to link the app is invalid.” when I try to connect.
It would be awesome if this plugin could be further maintained!

Hi,

This looks exactly like what I need. I followed the steps described and instered the key and the secret. I clicked on the link button but got a message saying the request was invalid..Where did I go wrong ? I must say that I am very new to WordPress and I know only simple HTML but not PHP..

I am trying to build a website where guides of Jerusalem – there are about 200 of us in the forum, can exchange files which are in a Dropbox account we already have. This will be a huge help for all of us.
I am supposed to show this on the meeting we have on Thusday night and I cannot get it working..

Thanks in advance,

Duby

Thanks

Hello Les
I have installed the plugin and followed the steps explained on the settings page.
Upon connecting to Dropbox, I get the same error as Tany and Simon:

The request to link the app is invalid.

I’ve tried both, an app folder restricted app and a full access app, the error message is the same.
An help would be really appreciated.

Regards, Roger
