Please help me in this issue

  • Per the /2/files/copy_v2 documentation, a `to/conflict/folder` error indicates that the operation failed because there's a folder in the way.

     

    In your example, that means that there's already a folder at "/abc". 

     

    Note that you need to specify the full desired destination path, including name, in `to_path`. That is, in this case, if you wanted to move the "test" folder inside the already-existing "abc" folder, your `to_path` should be "/abc/test".
