What is your current rclone version (output from rclone version)?

1.55.0

What problem are you are trying to solve?

While testing bisync with Dropbox I came across request limit issues. In attempt to fix them I followed https://tip.rclone.org/dropbox/#get-your-own-dropbox-app-id
The instructions is okay but incomplete. I had to make few extra moves to make things work.

How do you think rclone should be changed to solve that?

  1. Explicitly state what rclone.conf options correspond to App key (client_id) and App secret (client_secret)
  2. Explicitly state what Dropbox permissions should user provide to rclone (including new ones for rclone about, see oauth2 config in ncw's fix):
  • "files.metadata.write",
  • "files.content.write",
  • "files.content.read",
  • "sharing.write",
  • "account_info.read" (rclone about will fail without it)

Note: rclone about also needs a733384 merged on master.
