Error when uploading to folder - Python client
Hello. I am trying to upload a file using this Python code:
with open("{} - my-file-name.xlsx".format(
datetime.now().strftime('%Y%m%d')), "rb") as f:
dbx.files_upload(
f.read()...
Hi vherasme,
Seems the file already exists. If I have to bet, You probably make erroneous upload instead update. :wink:
Hope this gives some direction.

Dropbox StaffThat's correct, that 'path/conflict/file' indicates the upload failed because there's already a file at the specified path. You can find this WriteConflictError error in the documentation here.
You can control the conflict behavior via the `mode` and `autorename` parameters for the `files_upload` method. The documentation there has more information about the different options and what they do.
