Vikkonst Please try again now and let us know if you're still seeing this issue. Thanks!

A 500 server error should indicate the call failed because of an issue on the Dropbox servers. Can you share a few sample 'X-Dropbox-Request-Id' response header values for these failures? That should help us track it down. Thanks in advance!

Dear Greg.
Unfotrunartly now we can't send you 'X-Dropbox-Request-Id'. We will add logging of ''X-Dropbox-Request-Id" and add here tomorrow.
At this moment I can send only logs when we were get error codes:

Do you have rate limit for APIs?
- Greg-DBDropbox Staff
Yes, the Dropbox API does have a rate limiting system. (That's not what's happening here though. If an app hits the rate limit, the Dropbox API would reply with a 429 error status, not a 500.)
Anyway, we'll try to look into this based on the timestamps, but please do share the request IDs if possible. Thanks!
