The destination path you supply to the loadFile method tells the SDK where to save the file locally. If there's something already at that path, it will fail, so you should supply a path where there isn't already something saved. Including the file name at the end helps avoid conflicts, e.g., in the case of the error you posted, where you're trying to overwrite "Documents".
