Hi fangzefunny,
In your 'saveDropbox' function, what are you doing with Dropbox 'filesUpload' method result? On success there should be received a file metadata to the file just uploaded and on error - the corresponding error information. As far as I can see, you are ignoring this information. In this context, you function always succeeds regardless if actual upload succeeds or fails. The information of the error pointing the reason of an upload fail is lost too. That's why you never get any error message and your 'success message' always appears. 😉 Be more careful.
Hope this gives direction.

fangzefunny Здравко is correct; you should check the response or error for the call, which you are currently ignoring. You can find an example of handling the response and error for an upload call with the Dropbox API v2 JavaScript SDK here.
