It seems a path problem, but to me the path is fine. 
If the path was wrong, then I would not be able to upload or download, instead, I can download and upload just fine.

Hi lucaortis,

You haven't posted the code responsible for upload and download. Are you using in the path there double leading slashes too? 🤔😁😉

Hope this gives direction.

I found this very confusing but I managed to solve it like this: 

 

 

 $testFile = Split-Path $SourceFilePath -leaf
 $TargetFilePath="/$testFile"
 $arg = '{"path": "' + $TargetFilePath + '"}'

 

 

 

I know it works, but I'm really confused on how the path itself works. 
Upload and download code to format PATH are now the same as this. 


Thank you!!
