Dropbox StaffI'll be happy to help with any issues you're having with the Dropbox API, but I'll need some more information. Please reply with:
- the name and version number of the platform and SDK/library you are using, if any
- the steps to reproduce the issue, including relevant code snippet(s), but don't include any access or refresh token(s)
- the full text of any error or unexpected output
Official Dropbox .Net v2 SDK
Dropbox.Api.4.7.0\lib\net45\Dropbox.Api.dll
Method: /files/create_folder_v2
app key :jbei6w7fwpgrzgq
app key business : li4q7wb8ayguxmy
the steps are only call create folder,
but we are migrating 5 Tb so we are making many request -maybe we hit a rate limit? but no response only null.
not event an error just a null response
Thanks omri

I see you're using v4.7.0 of the Dropbox .NET SDK, which is relatively old now. We recommend updating to the latest version, currently v6.16.0.
In any case, you mentioned you're using /files/create_folder_v2. That's the API route itself, which would correspond to a native method in the SDK, such as CreateFolderV2Async.
Please share the actual code and show whatever result/response you are getting so we can look into it and try to reproduce the issue. For instance, if you're inspecting the actual HTTPS response, please show the whole thing, including headers, or if you're using a native method in the SDK like mentioned above, please show what type and value it is returning or raising. Thanks!
Client.AsMember(request.AsMember).Files.CreateFolderV2Async(prefix + name)
this is the actual request from the SDK I am using.
and I am not getting any response only null, that is why this is so weird

Can you clarify what you mean when you say you are only getting "null"? Is that the value being returned by the CreateFolderV2Async method itself, or is the method raising an exception?
Also, the code you shared here does not show you retrieving the return value, nor handling any exceptions. Additionally, CreateFolderV2Async is an async method, but you don't seem to be awaiting it or checking the result, at least in the code you shared here. And, what is the type "request" object in this code?
Please share the full relevant code and output so we can understand the issue in context in order to investigate and offer help.
