Dropbox API Upload Errors using .NET SDK

Hello Greg-DB,   We already have a Dropbox solution on production system that fetches and restore files. Our solution uses Dropbox API SDK for .NET - https://github.com/dropbox/dropbox-sdk-dotn...

    All Dropbox API calls use HTTPS, so they go to port 443 on the relevant Dropbox API servers, which, for uploading and downloading file content via the official .NET SDK, is content.dropboxapi.com.

     

    As for the error you're getting, can you let me know what version number of the SDK you have installed, and share the relevant code snippet that's running when you see this? Thanks in advance!

The Dropbox API doesn't ban IP addresses or deny specific hosts like this. If it decides to reject a request, it would send back an error response with a specific error code, such as 429.

 

Given that it works on some of your machines/servers, it does sound like there's something blocking the connection on some of them. Let me know if you can't find a cause with your hosting provider though.

Hello Greg,

 

The hostname had to be whitelisted by our network provider.

 

Thanks,
