I'm using the documentation you've shared and I keep coming across a CORS error when trying to fetch the access token.

The https://www.dropbox.com/oauth2/authorize... URL you construct points to a web page where the user would choose whether or not to allow the app to access their account. That means the app should direct the user to that URL in their web browser. The app should not try to access the contents of that URL programmatically; for example, you should not have the app try to retrieve the contents of that URL using 'fetch'. Please refer to the links in my previous message for more information on how this process works.
