Thanks for the report Stefan! I just tried running two of these though and I'm not seeing the same behavior, using the same version of Python and the Dropbox library.

How are you checking the file size to see the unexpected empty file? Can you add some logging and share the output showing the issue? In particular, it might be good to check the size in three places: in the metadata returned by files_download, of fp itself, and in the metadata returned by files_upload. That way we can see exactly when/where the empty file originates.

Thanks in advance!
