How can I pause syncing for my team account, but not the personal one?
I have added a Dropbox Teams account (Business) to the Dropbox app on my computer in addition to my personal account (Essentials). How can I temporarily disable syncing for the Teams account *without* disabling it for my personal one?
The Dropbox API /upload endpoint does require that the HTTPS request use one of the Content-Type values listed in the error message you shared.
I see that you are attempting to set a valid Content-Type value, but the actual request is using a different value ("multipart..."). It seems that the HTTPS client you're using is overriding the value you're attempting to set.
You should refer to the documentation for the client you're using to determine how to disable that behavior. For instance, you likely will want to use the "binary" option seen in the screenshot of the "Body" tab you shared.
Also, note that some of your other headers look incorrect as well. The Dropbox API parameters should be sent as JSON in a single "Dropbox-API-Arg" header, not in separate "mode", "autorename", etc. headers like you have. You can find more information and an example in the documentation.

Hi,
You may temporarily disable syncing for your Dropbox Teams account while keeping your personal account active. Here’s how:
Open Dropbox Preferences:
- Click on the Dropbox icon in your system tray or menu bar.
- Click on your profile picture or initials.
- Select Preferences.
Select the Account:
- Go to the Accounts tab.
- Select your Teams account.
Pause Syncing:
- Click Pause syncing for your Teams account.
This will pause syncing for your Teams account while keeping your personal account active.
Hope this helps.
