File upload 409 Conflict "path/no_write_permission" to team space
Getting an 409 Conflict "path/no_write_permission" to team space when trying to upload a file. Where do I set team space folder persmissions for an app?
Here is the code (powershell):
$DonToken = 'zzzzzzzz'
$NameSpaceId = "9999999999"
$TargetFileDir = "ns:" + $NameSpaceId + "/TEAM1/TestDeploy/" $InputZipPath = 'c:\temp\TestPushToDropBox.zip' $ZipFileName = "TestPushToDropBox.zip" $arg = '{ "path": "' + $TargetFileDir + $ZipFileName + '", "mode": "add", "autorename": true, "mute": false }' $authorization = "Bearer " + $Token $headers = New-Object "System.Collections.Generic.Dictionary[[String],[String]]" $headers.Add("Authorization", $authorization) $headers.Add("Dropbox-API-Arg", $arg) $headers.Add("Content-Type", 'application/octet-stream') # $nshead = '{".tag": "namespace_id", "namespace_id": $NameSpaceId}' # $headers.Add("Dropbox-API-Path-Root", $nshead) $resp = try { Invoke-RestMethod -Uri https://content.dropboxapi.com/2/files/upload -Method Post -InFile $InputZipPath -Headers $headers } catch { $_.Exception.Response } write-host $resp.StatusCode.value__ write-host $resp.StatusCode write-host $resp.StatusDescription
To access the team space itself, you need to set your "root" to the team space using the "Dropbox-API-Path-Root" header, instead of specifying the namespace ID in the path value as you're trying to do in this code.
You can find information setting "root" in "Dropbox-API-Path-Root" in the Namespace Guide.
It looks like you have part of this commented out already. Re-enable that, and use "root" instead of "namespace_id", and remove the "ns:..." usage from your "path" value.

What's in the response body for the 400? It should contain a more helpful error message.
