      rahulj1, First of all make sure you're following the Dropbox path syntax (all path start with slash - except root - and slash is used as path separator, no something else). Next, make sure you're providing the correct path. If not sure, start with the root (empty path) and navigate to the nested folders (path fields there are always correct). 😉

      Hope this helps.
