I'm having trouble connecting a Windows Subsystem for Android app to Dropbox
Dropbox is the only Cloud this app can use on Windows. Here are some of the messages I see.
This is the url that the app (aWallet) is trying to access:
[Removed as per Community Guidelines]
This is the response from that url:
The webpage at [Removed as per Community Guidelines] could not be loaded because:
net::ERR_NAME_NOT_RESOLVED
After it times out I get a Windows notification:
This site can’t be reached
www.dropbox.com unexpectedly closed the connection.
Webpage not available
If anyone can offer any insight I'd appreciate it.
Thanks,
Fred

On my Andriod S10, WiFi is not able to open the Dropbox app. Trying to use the Dropbox cloud through my aWallet app can only connect through mobile data. With WiFi the URL being sent is:
[Removed as per Community Guidelines]I get this response:
This site can’t be reachedwww.dropbox.com unexpectedly closed the connection.
Try:
Checking the connection
ERR_CONNECTION_CLOSED
Then it says Authentication Failed.
I previously have uninstalled all ad blocking and VPN apps and disabled all browser (Chrome & Firefox) ad blocking add ons / extensions.
I also have Dropbox installed on my PC in Window 11 and Dropbox Lite in the Windows Subsystem for Android. The aWallet app has the same connection issue.
Thanks, I'll go through my notes to be sure I'm not mixing things up a bit.
I appreciate your assistance. I hope that URL above has a clue that may help.
