k at first we can try to handle the Dropbox problem

he has a bad design,

he starts a timer, with a 0 delay
initialLoadDelay int 0 How long to delay the initial load (in ms)

and so it calls to get data BEFORE it initializes the node helper…

in your config.js config {} section for this module add

  initialLoadDelay: 5000,

and it says if the token is not specified, present and error message,

     if (this.config.token === '') {
                this.errMsg = 'Please add your Dropbox token to the MagicMirror config.js file.';

but it still calls the node helper to get data, which then crashes with the error u see

@sdetweil sometimes it works but not very often

@sdetweil I will try a new token…thanks Sam
