Hi there, Thanks for making such a wonderful app. But I’m experiencing a problem while set it up on my MAC. Described as below: Joplin for Desktop 1.0.216 macOS Catalina 10.15.5 When I was trying to get authorization from Dropbox, the app always show me a fail message after long time waiting. I’…

A proxy client which support shadowsocks, v2ray etc. I’m in China and Dropbox is sadly blocked by the G(reat)F(ire)wall… :sad:

It could be that the GFW detects the connection attempt in this context and block it.

Hmm, or it could also be related to [image] Self-Signed SSL Certificate. OK on desktop but not Android Support I think this may be the reason it’s not working: By default, react-native-fetch-blob does NOT allow connection to unknown certification provider since it’s …

But the VPN should pass the certificate untouched to the app, shouldn’t it? And in that case all fetch-blob would see is a valid certificate.

Yes, I agree. But if it works with Joplin on iPad, it must be something that has to do with Android - or with something that was added to the code in the meantime. Usually Android and iOS releases are mostly far apart. So the next iOS release might break as well.

@laurent @tessus Thank you for your concern. It seems I should try to modify the config file, right? I'm sorry for knowing almost nothing about coding. But I'd love to give it a try. But first, where can I find the config file? :thinking:

Unfortunately there’s not much you can do. Unless you compile a new .apk for Android and install it on your phone. Also, we don’t know, if the issue I referenced really is the culprit.

Oh, OK. That's too bad. Perhaps I could install the terminal version to see if it has the same problem. Thanks anyway! :beers:

Oh, I’m very sorry. I mixed a few things up. Your issue is on macOS, not on Android. So please ignore my previous posts. Edit: I’m very sorry for the noise. Apologies to both of you: marsroy and laurent
