I am getting a similar response when just switching the folder I am uploading to:

FileMetadata(client_modified=datetime.datetime(2023, 8, 10, 16, 22, 13), content_hash='e3b0c44298fc1c149afbf4c8996fb92427ae41e4649b934ca495991b7852b855', export_info=NOT_SET, file_lock_info=NOT_SET, has_explicit_shared_members=NOT_SET, id='id:MfcxP9MMQyMAAAAAAAAAHg', is_downloadable=True, media_info=NOT_SET, name='test.zip', parent_shared_folder_id=NOT_SET, path_display='/Folder2/test.zip', path_lower='/folder2/test.zip', preview_url=NOT_SET, property_groups=NOT_SET, rev='0160293ffb9dc8f0000000104e641f1', server_modified=datetime.datetime(2023, 8, 10, 16, 22, 14), sharing_info=NOT_SET, size=0, symlink_info=NOT_SET)

So my problem has nothing to do with the file itself because it has been uploaded into another folder successfully:

FileMetadata(client_modified=datetime.datetime(2023, 8, 10, 16, 28, 4), content_hash='e3b0c44298fc1c149afbf4c8996fb92427ae41e4649b934ca495991b7852b855', export_info=NOT_SET, file_lock_info=NOT_SET, has_explicit_shared_members=NOT_SET, id='id:qzdXOVVbA8AAAAAAAAUJ_w', is_downloadable=True, media_info=NOT_SET, name='test.zip', parent_shared_folder_id='4391826353', path_display='/Folder1/test.zip', path_lower='/folder1/test.zip', preview_url=NOT_SET, property_groups=NOT_SET, rev='016029414a2b7250000000105c5f3b1', server_modified=datetime.datetime(2023, 8, 10, 16, 28, 4), sharing_info=FileSharingInfo(modified_by='dbid:AAB_CoHtiOlASmyE9l1g_5pdrDuPG1s2CIQ', parent_shared_folder_id='4391826353', read_only=False), size=0, symlink_info=NOT_SET)

What do you think it could be?

credentially-dev-team Both samples you shared here show 'size=0', meaning that both files were uploaded with empty contents. Please check your upload code to make sure you're uploading the non-empty contents that you expect for the files.
