The path values you supply to the API should be paths relative to the root of the Dropbox account (or relative to the app folder root, if you're using an app with the app folder permission), not Dropbox web site URLs as you have here.
So, for example, to upload a file "myfile.txt" to your root, you would use "/myfile.txt". Or, to upload it into a subfolder "Documents", you would use "/Documents/myfile.txt".
You can also get the correct path values from Metadata.getPathLower, if/when you get the metadata for existing files elsewhere on the API:
https://dropbox.github.io/dropbox-sdk-java/api-docs/v3.0.x/com/dropbox/core/v2/files/Metadata.html#getPathLower--- here my path :
/Apps/AndroidDbAppStorage/"+name
it return empty file.- Greg-DBIf the download call is returning successfully but is yielding a 0 byte file, it's likely because the file you have uploaded to Dropbox is 0 bytes long. You can check the Dropbox web site to confirm that.
If you don't expect to have a 0 byte file uploaded, you should check on where/how you're uploading it, and then upload the correct version.
