Even when you have one property group it should be a list with one entry, not just a single string, as you have passed. If you take a look on 'filter_some', you will see that expected type is list, not something else (list of ids, not just one id itself - even when it's alone). Wrap your id' string with array.

Dropbox Community Moderatortoki4004 The 'property_groups' parameter on the /2/files/upload endpoint is optional. (You can find that in the documentation for /2/files/upload.) You should only set it if you are using the "file properties" feature. If you do set the 'property_groups' parameter though, the 'template_id' field in any given PropertyGroup object is required and must not be empty.
You can find information on the file properties feature, such as what templates are and how to work with them, in the documentation for it here.
