Dropbox Community ModeratorThat error indicates that you're attempting to use an object that isn't defined. Since you're trying to access a client with the name "dbx", add "as dbx" at the end of the "with" statement (before the ":"), like this:
with dropbox.Dropbox(oauth2_access_token='access token',
oauth2_access_token_expiration=expiry,
oauth2_refresh_token='refresh token',
app_key='app key',
app_secret='secret') as dbx:(Or, you can still do it the other way, like "dbx = dropbox.Dropbox(...)" as long as you fill in credentials like above.)
I corrected but again error
import sys
import dropbox
from dropbox import DropboxOAuth2FlowNoRedirect
from dropbox.files import WriteMode
import time
while True:
with dropbox.Dropbox(oauth2_access_token='sl access token',
oauth2_access_token_expiration=14400,
oauth2_refresh_token='refresh token',
app_key='app key',
app_secret='app secret') as dbx:
try:
with open('rtk.txt', 'rb') as f:
file_contents = f.read()
dbx.files_upload(file_contents, '/rtk.txt', mode=dropbox.files.WriteMode('overwrite'))
except Exception as e:
print(f"An error occurred: {e}")
time.sleep(60)Showing error: "An error occurred: '>=' not supported between instances of 'datetime.datetime' and 'int'"

This error is indicating that oauth2_access_token_expiration requires a datetime, but you're now passing in an int. You should pass in a datetime for that. Or, you can just omit oauth2_access_token_expiration entirely and the SDK will just handle it as needed.
Remove this line?
oauth2_access_token_expiration=14400,

Yes, either remove it or supply the correct type (datetime).
