Expecting one of "application/octet-stream", "text/plain; charset=dropbox-cors-hack".
I am using MultipartEntityBuilder to create Entity in java. MultipartEntityBuilder needs boundary value to be set. but dropbox is not allowing it to send.
when i do that, i m getting below error.
Error in call to API function "files/upload": Bad HTTP "Content-Type" header: "text/plain; boundary=dRUj2TWABj74JeYRtJ2MYFIjWDyjWrAaMQE". Expecting one of "application/octet-stream", "text/plain; charset=dropbox-cors-hack".
could anyone please help ?

The Dropbox API does not accept multipart requests, so you should not use MultipartEntityBuilder when constructing Dropbox API calls.
For information on what is expected for a call /2/files/upload, please refer to the documentation:
https://www.dropbox.com/developers/documentation/http/documentation#files-upload
As linked there, that endpoint is a "content-upload" style endpoint:
https://www.dropbox.com/developers/documentation/http/documentation#content-upload-endpoints
The data for the file you're uploading should be sent in the request body, with a "Content-Type" header or "application/octet-stream" of "text/plain; charset=dropbox-cors-hack". (The first one is preferred.)
If you're using Java though, we recommend using the official Java SDK, which will do most of the work for you:
