Dropbox API - 'path/not_found/' error on folders with parenthesis in the folder name.
When I access any folder with a parenthesis in the folder name, I get an error that the path doesn't exist. I assume it is a url encoding problem, but when I encode the URL it only encodes the spaces...
I see you're using the Dropbox JavaScript SDK, that should handle any encoding for you automatically. You should just pass in the correct path value as plain unencoded text. Don't apply any encoding to that value yourself.
I just tried your code out, plugging in my own sample path value and access token, and it worked successfully for me when the path value contained "()".

Yea, I found the error was on my end. Turns out the folder did not exist so the path did not exist. Is there a way to delete this question as it is not an issue?
