Hi. kind of stuck.. getting this error - worked two days ago. thanks for any ideas. Failed to establish a new connection: [WinError 10060] A connection attempt failed because the connected party did not properly respond after a period of time, or established connection failed because connected host has failed to respond' same code works fine on test machine but fails on, production. errors on the final print line. with this code import dropboxfiletoupload = 'Z:\\users\\aeadmin\\documents\\ysn1.png' filetouploadname = '/ysn1d.png' f= open(filetoupload,"rb") dbx = dropbox.Dropbox(app_key = "x65cwwc7.....",app_secret = "3s809......",oauth2_refresh_token = "IjYGZB7V....") print(dbx.files_upload(f.read(),filetouploadname, mode=dropbox.files.WriteMode("overwrite")))

JohnPT, some more info might be helpful. Your Python SDK single method call involves 2 API calls (on 2 different Dropbox servers)! It's not clear least which one fails. Some stacktrace would be fine. Does the same happen if you perform client object initialization with access token, instead of refresh token? Check that, if possible, on the machine where execution fails.

Здравко It fails on the final line the upload request. > print(dbx.files_upload(f.read(),filetouploadname, mode=dropbox.files.WriteMode("overwrite")))I get a dbx object that looks fine in vscode. I will try this. working to get trace and try on another machine. i am testing on windows 10 machine for test and prod. Thank you for your help.

Yes, for sure the code, you posted, is the only place where things can get wrong. It's the only place, in your code, where API calls get performed. The 'dbx' object itself can look fine after construction. Construction doesn't perform too much checks! You can construct Dropbox client object with completely wrong parameters and it will looks "fine". It wont look the same when you're going to execute some of its method though (where the actual mistakes get up). 😉

ok cool. thank you for the details.

Здравко Thanks for the access token idea.I created a new app and used a new access code. that worked fine on both the local test and cloud test machine. Not enough knowledge to know what that means? Does that mean my orginal app is problematic? Nothing has changed here and it does work on my test machine?any thoughts? Thank you for your kind help. still a bit of a newbie to DB. 😆

As I said, the refreshing process fails. The 'api.dropbox.com' is involved in this. Seems you didn't try to refresh by hand. Why? 🧐 Try ping the host, at least, and try query the server with alternative tool, all on the failing machine.

Thanks, sorry i was more focused on the PIP upgrade and creating a new app/refreshtoken. thinking that the was the refresh you mention...

i guess not understanding "as I said, check the refresh process by hand sorry." was thinking that was the upgrade.. and the accesstoken did work and the refreshtoken not might indicate something with the app.

thanks for your patience. how do i check the "refresh process"? i thought that they never expired?

JohnPT, Yes refresh token doesn't expire. It's used for periodical retrieve/refresh access token anew. This happens with specific request to Dropbox server (usually performed by SDK internally). That's something that fails. Let's see why. Take a look here about details on how OAuth works (including the refresh - last request). 'curl' is in use there; you can use whatever you want.

Thank you. will review.

FWIW: i did test on another cloud (Azure) machine wondering if it might be an Azure/port thing...

both apps (original and new ) worked fine with the refresh token.. so it must be something with the first machine.
not sure how to trace that...
I appreciate your help.
