Dropbox Community ModeratorTshaniii Здравко is correct, that error is indicating that you didn't provide a valid path format. It's best to take the path value from another API call result, e.g., an entry's 'path_lower' value, but if you write the path value manually it would be of the form '/Regulatory'.
When listing a folder like that, it will return an empty list of entries if the folder is empty.
The File Access Guide may be a helpful reference for how to interact with the Dropbox filesystem.
I added as
var dbx = new Dropbox({ accessToken: dbx_access_token , fetch});
console.log(document.Folder.name);
await dbx.filesListFolder({ path: `/${document.Folder.name}` })
.then((response) => {
console.log(response.result.entries);
console.log('Files and folders in your Dropbox account:', response);
response.result.entries.forEach((entry) => {
console.log(entry.name, document.title);
if ((entry.name).toString() === (document.title).toString()) {
let file_id = entry.id;
console.log(file_id);
dbx.filesDownload({
path: `${file_id}`
}).then(async (response) => {
console.log("down");
await response.pipe(temporaryFileStream);
}).catch((error) => {
console.log(error);
});
}
console.log(entry.name);
});
})
.catch((error) => {
console.error(error);
});
This code may not be correct as if the folder has subfolders it might not correctly give the entries. So please suggest me how to do this?

I am urgent in completing this feature. Would you be able to please help me in this.
1. App permissions
2. DocFlowController is the app name
3. has 7 folders, History is one of them
4. Inside history there will be subfolders and in them there will be files. sometimes there will be no subfolders but straightaway files.
5. so i want a code to view these files in a editor or somewhere.... i prefer editor becuase there is another feature i implement to open and edit....
please give me a code sample for this. would be a great help! 🙂
