Dropbox StaffOh, I also see /2-beta-2/ in your URL. I'm not sure whether that's still expected to work, but you should really switch to /2/. Again, the HTTP response would tell you if that's the problem.
Note that /create_folder has been deprecated in favor of /create_folder_v2, so I'd recommend switching to that too: https://www.dropbox.com/developers/documentation/http/documentation#files-create_folder_v2.

I made the changes,but still I cannot find any folder created..I am getting the toast as alert created,but when I am opening the dropbox,I cannot find the new folder created...
CreateFolder()
{
let args={
"path": "/invoice",
"autorename": false
}
//this.dropbox.filesCreateFolder(args);
let headers = new Headers();
headers.append('Authorization','Bearer '+this.accessToken);
headers.append('Dropbox-API-Arg', JSON.stringify(args));
headers.append('Content-Type', 'application/json');
console.log("created folder");
return this.http.post('https://api.dropboxapi.com/2/files/create_folder_v2',{headers:headers});
}
}

What response are you getting from the API though? You need to check the API response to see if the call succeeded or not.
Also, another thing I notice is that you're sending your parameters in the 'Dropbox-API-Arg' header, but /2/files/create_folder_v2 is an RPC style endpoint, so your parameters should be sent as JSON in the request body.
