Why is my local DropBox folder not readable with java?
I am trying to read files in DropBox folders on my Mac with java.
The following code:
String dir = "/Users/brucewilcox/Library/CloudStorage/Dropbox/Apps/Form8949DotCom/taxdochub-forms-...

Dropbox EngineerHi BruceVWilcox,
The local Dropbox folder should be readable. The issue you are encountering is most likely a local permissions issue.
Since the behavior you are describing is not an error from the Dropbox API itself, we can't offer much more help with that in particular.

The folder is populated programmatically with files from a java app in Google Cloud. It turns out that the individual files do not have ANY permissions for other than me as a user. I am running the java app from my IntelliJ IDE. Not sure why the permissions are so narrow. And not sure who the user is when the IDE runs.
