Python 3.5 API upload error
I'm using a Raspberry Pi 3 B+ with the a Pi Camera to record surveillance images and occasionally upload them to my Dropbox account. The Python script runs until it's time to upload the images to Dro...
Thanks! I see you're referencing a Dropbox web site URL in your path. When identifying files by path on the Dropbox API, you should not use Dropbox web site URLs like this.
You only need to write them relative to "root", so e.g., you might use a value like "/Pi Image Search/123.jpg", to upload a file into a folder named "Pi Image Search", or just "/123.jpg" to upload a file into whatever root your app has.
Hi there,
I am receiving a WriteError for a malformed path:
UploadError('path', UploadWriteFailed(reason=WriteError('malformed_path', None), ))
"dropbox_base_path": "/HomeSec",
Any ideas where I am going wrong?
This question has already been answered at https://www.dropboxforum.com/t5/Discuss-Developer-API/Python-3-5-API-upload-error/m-p/317699#M345.
In my conf.json file, the dropbox_base_path reads: "Apps/Pi Image Search/Pi/Surveillance", because my Dropbox home account contains a folder named "Apps", which contains a folder named "Pi Image Search", which contains a folder named "Pi", which contains a folder named "Surveillance", which is where my images are uploaded to. Note that there is no leading "/" and that paths that contain folder/filenames with spaces in them must be surrounded by quote marks. Hope this info makes the "dropbox_base_path" variable a little easier to understand.
