CORS error on any endpoint
After successful authorization and getting the token I try to test it by fetching basic '/user' endpoint and I always get CORS error. Chrome Browser.
1) with preflish request:
2) Without preflight request:
What am I doing wrong, please help!
OK, I figured that out. Silly mistake. Appears that 'api.dropboxapi.com/2/check/user'
is a POST method while I was sending a GET request. The mistake would be avoided if the documentation stated that it's a POST message instead of just specifying that in a curl example which I haven't looked at.

Can you share the full error output for reference?
Looking at the screenshots though, I do see two things that should be corrected:
- You should use POST instead of GET.
- The /2/check/user endpoint is an RPC-style endpoint, so you should supply the API parameter ("query", in this case) in JSON in the request body, not as a URL parameter

It looks like our messages just crossed. I'm glad to hear you already sorted this out, and thanks for the feedback!
