accessing images from dropbox using python

Hi henrikstaaf,

One possible thing is you have a real permission error, as stated in the message. If you try to read a local file and put it on the same place as 'local_download_path',... Did you try it? Or just try to save some dumb content there (instead of real content download from Dropbox), just to check if you're able save. If you change for a test you code to something like:

...
            with open(local_file_path, 'wb') as f:
                # response = dbx.files_download(path=dropbox_file_path)
                response = b"Hello world!"
                print(response)
                f.write(response.content)
    except Exception as e:
        print('Error downloading file from Dropbox: ' + str(e))

what's going on 🤔... Or try to suspend the local write like:

...
        if dbx:
            # with open(local_file_path, 'wb') as f:
            response = dbx.files_download(path=dropbox_file_path)
            print(response)
            #    f.write(response.content)
    except Exception as e:
        print('Error downloading file from Dropbox: ' + str(e))

How changes the behavior in both cases? Where stops the error? 🧐

If I have to bet, your local path is malformed or incomplete. Check down this.

Hope this gives direction.

Add: Incomplete Dropbox path seems a logical version too or incorrectly set (or skip to set) namespace (if your account is a business one).
