As Здравко mentioned, please make sure you're encoding header values as documented here: https://www.dropbox.com/developers/reference/json-encoding

Thanks for your help ! That's right, Dropbox block now every special character and accents in the path name (not in accordance with the documentation haha).
I hope this will solve soon !
Thanks simotin13

Nico-Uretek, It depends on what you mean here. It's according Dropbox documentation, but NOT according standards. For instance, Dropbox (note the usage of Dropbox, not Dropbox API nor SDK) doesn't support all UNICODE symbols, but only those in Basic Multilingual Plane. 🤷 This is Dropbox core bug! Of course, the same results in impossible usage of surrogate pairs during JSON encoding - they are invalid according Dropbox API.
Do you use such symbols as file/folder names?
