Need help on Filelink Provider for Dropbox

I've installed this addon, but can't get it to work. I choose the Link option for file sending and a page opens, I pick Dropbox and it says Click on the link. I get taken to Dropbox and get a code to put into Flelink, but what do I do with it? There doesn't seem to be any way of going forward and, if I go to Thunderbird, there is a box presumably for the code, but the text next to it is greyed out. What am I supposed to do?

Chosen solution

There should be a 'Save' button underneath the box you paste the code in. Try the default scheme instead of this dark one, and see if that makes any difference.

You need to allow cookies in Thunderbird for the authentication to complete.

Interesting - I didn't know cookies were involved in Thunderbird. Anyway, I found the setting and they're always allowed, even third party ones

Here you are Chris (see file).

It says paste it into Thunderbird Cloudfile, but I've no idea what that is - I simply go back to the screen that said Click here and paste the code in

Thanks, Chris. I gave up on trying to find the default scheme, as I didn't know if I was looking for a Thunderbird or a Win 11 default scheme and just clicked on the Save button once I knew what it said and it works! Thanks very much. Can I take advantage of your knowledge again and ask how to stop all the headers showing?

Thanks, Chris. I might seem a little stupid to have not found it myself, but I'm trying to cope with all the settings in Win 11 and other programmes. I'm very grateful for your help
