dbx.auth not working / getAccessTokenFromCode giving 400 response?
I'm trying to access the `getAccessTokenFromCode` method and I keep receiving a 400 error. On top of that, I can't seem to write the code and get it to work in the way it's written in the Auth ex...
I'm not sure I follow your message, but you should specify it in both places. The /oauth2/authorize page redirect_uri parameter specifies where to send the user after they authorize the app, and the 'redirectUri' you pass to 'getAccessTokenFromCode' is just a string sent up in a /oauth2/token API call to verify that it matches.
Thanks Greg. By making them the same redirect uri I got it working. My worry is /was that the current redirect uri is another endpoint that creates a session and stores information in the DB. By setting that redirect URI in both places I was worried that that endpoint would get called twice and create duplicates or show up as `null` in the second call. Does that make sense?

Gotcha - that makes sense to me now. I was thinking that the redirect_uri passed into `getAccessTokenFromCode` actually does get called. thanks!
