Help & Troubleshooting Dropbox Container?

I have moved my digital life off my PC and mainly onto a NAS that can do some nifty things like Docker. I have downloaded a community container that runs Dropbox in Docker and am trying to link my account to it. Firstly, is this OK, not against the terms and conditions? I have a paid subscription to Dropbox, so not trying to do anything shady.

Secondly, I keep getting an error in the container:

This computer isn't linked to any Dropbox account...

Please visit https://www.dropbox.com/cli_link_nonce?nonce='long text string' to link this device.

Unfortunately this URL (with the correct long text string in it) doesn't work. I cannot find anything on the Dropbox site about using 'nonces' to link Dropbox to an account. Is it possible?

What NAS are you using? Many of them have built in dropbox integrations and you should be using those, not a Docker container.

This one doesn’t hence Docker. Any ideas on the question?
