    Thanks, I better understand the issue now.

    I see that you're passing in axios as your fetch library, and the failure is occurring in the Dropbox JavaScript library when attempting to process the OAuth result. I've reproduced this by likewise passing in axios. I've also confirmed that actual API calls fail when using axios.

    As far as I can tell, axios does not officially conform to the fetch standard (I don't see any reference to it on the axios page), so I don't think we can consider this officially supported. I'll pass this along as a feature request for support for axios, but I can't promise if or when that might be implemented. 

    Instead, I recommend passing in some HTTP client that supports the fetch standard, such as isomorphic-fetch, like in the example here.
