Dropbox Upload API - Sending special characters in file path

Hi All

Im trying to send a file to DB using the upload API using the JS SDK. The upload IS WORKING, however, when the file is folder "Salt and Pepper" is created, its replacing the & symbol that Im sending with &.

The file path I am trying to write to is:

/Salt & Pepper/serialnumber-filename.zip

However, the file path being written is:

/Salt & Pepper/serialnumber-filename.zip

Here is my code?

var path = '/Salt & Pepper/'+file.name;
dbx.filesUpload({path: path, contents: file})

 Should this be painfully obvious to me? lol

EDIT: I answered my own question looking into it. Im actually saving the folderpath on my side using the & and not the & symbol after all. This is totally why its not working. 

Thanks for your help anyway.
