Hi martinweiss,
Dropbox provides Python SDK, but doesn't support any particular work environment explicitly; it's your responsibility. As about AWS Lambda, you need to add in some way any non builtin features (including Dropbox SDK and all possible its non builtin dependencies). What is missing actually can be seen in the error message itself; what exactly can't be imported? 🧐 You can add missing code as part of the deployment package or as independent layer. Don't forget to associate corresponding layer with your Lambda if you select this way (it's preferable).
Hope this gives direction.
PS: Additional troubles can rise up if you don't ensure valid POSIX file attributes or (when binaries are distributed) incompatible Python version. Take care!
