Dropbox EngineerHello Cici cici,
I'll be happy to help with any issues you're having with the Dropbox API, but I'll need some more information. Please reply with:
- the name and version number of the platform and SDK/library you are using, if any
- the steps to reproduce the issue, including relevant code snippet(s), but don't include any access or refresh token(s)
- the full text of any error or unexpected output
Alternatively, you can open an API ticket with the above information using the following link:
Hi iNeil.
Thank you so much for your assistance. I only used the api to get the token and authenticate, without using any sdk/ library, and now I can finally get the 'AC token 'after extending the curl timeout, but at the same time when i want to get other informations by (

- iNeilHello Cici cici,
Would you be able to provide the full cURL command that you are using while executing the 2/users/get_space_usage endpoint?
I have tested the 2/users/get_space_usage endpoint, and I'm unable to replicate the issue. Please test the conditions using the following cURL command for the 2/users/get_space_usage endpoint.curl -v -X POST https://api.dropboxapi.com/2/users/get_space_usage \ --header 'Authorization: Bearer YOUR_ACCESS_TOKEN' \ --header 'Content-Type: application/json' \ --data 'null'Please note, you can also test the endpoint while using our Dropbox API explorer.

Hi Cici cici,
That error message is NOT Dropbox (or any other service) related! 🙂
You have mistake in your script that calls the curl command. The destination file (or other entry in use) is NOT accessible for write for your code - whatever you have pointed using '-o' or '--output' option. That's it. Select another destination place (where your script may write to) or fix the access permission of the current destination. 😉
Hope this gives direction.
