You were completely right, Greg. The user's setting told me that the called code was this one instead of the one I told you in the first post:
fileMetadata = dbxClientV2 .files() .uploadBuilder("/" + dropboxDir + "/" + file.getName()) .withAutorename(true) .withMode(WriteMode.update(oldRevision)) .withMute(false) .uploadAndFinish(fileInputStream);
I did not cleanup everything correctly after the user changed his sync method from another provider to DropBox and did send a wrong oldRevision.
Thanks for the quick feedback and the accurate suggestion.

Thanks. For example, I was able to reproduce this using:
.withMode(WriteMode.update(null))
The value passed in to WriteMode.update should be the 'rev' value, not null.
