Can you print the response body for the 400 error? It should contain a more useful error message.

I am getting the exact same issue...
for the "Dropbox-API-Arg" i have : {\"path\": \"/PR Team/MASTER PR Media NEW.xlsm\"}"
- first of all is that correct if the folder name is PR Team and the file is called MASTER PR Media NEW.xlsm
-second you asked for the response body for the 400 error, how do I access that?
- Greg-DB7 years agoDropbox StaffThat path value itself appears correct. (The '\' characters would be to escape the '"' characters, but that may or may not be necessary depending on your client/environment.)
Getting the response body is the right way to begin debugging this. Exactly how you do so depends on the particular HTTP client you're using though, so I'm afraid I can't offer specific instructions if you're not using an official Dropbox SDK. You should refer to the documentation for your HTTP client for information on how to retrieve the response body.
