Attempt to rename drive file/folder “not found” (409)
After reading the documentation here to rename an item, I'm not sure why I am getting a “not found” (409). Here is the data of the item provided by https://api.dropboxapi.com/2/files/list_folder ...
The /2/file_requests/update endpoint is for updating "file requests", not actual files/folders.
To rename a file or folder, you should use /2/files/move_v2. When supplying the "id" of a file or folder, supply it exactly as given. That is, do not remove the "id:" prefix or otherwise modify the value. To rename a folder, you would pass in the "id" as the "from_path" parameter, and the new path/name as the "to_path" parameter.

Thank you! Confirmed this works.
