C# CopyBatchV2Async Method not working as expected
The CopyBatchV2Async documentation states that it can "Copy multiple files or folders to different locations at once in the user's Dropbox." So that means that if I specify FromPath as a folder, and...
You can use CopyBatchV2Async to copy files and/or folders. Note that this copies the item itself, e.g., the entire folder including the folder itself, not only the folder's contents. The 'ToPath' should be the desired path of the copied item itself, not an existing folder.
E.g., if you want to make a copy of an existing folder at "/MyFolder", you could specify a 'ToPath' value of "/MyFolderCopy", for instance. That would make a copy of "MyFolder", as well as anything inside it, at that "/MyFolderCopy" path. Make sure there isn't already something at the new path, e.g., "/MyFolderCopy", though.
Also, be sure to drill down into the RelocationBatchV2JobStatus.Complete object though, as it doesn't necessarilly mean everything succeeded; only that the job completed. Check each RelocationBatchResultEntry to see the specific results.

Okay, thank you. The issue was that I was trying to copy some new files into an existing folder that already contained some other files.
