Dropbox Community ModeratorWhen uploading data to a Dropbox API "content-upload" style endpoint, such as /2/files/upload, you should send the raw bytes in the request body as an "application/octet-stream".
If you're getting a 500 Internal Server Error back, please share a few sample "x-dropbox-request-id" response header values so we can look into it. Thanks in advance!
{ type: "http.ClientResponse", code: 500, headers: { "Transfer-Encoding": "chunked", "X-Dropbox-Request-Id": "d7032e53a533fb8505ea7d99debf3fa3", "X-Robots-Tag": "noindex, nofollow, noimageindex", Server: "nginx", "Content-Security-Policy": "sandbox allow-forms allow-scripts", Date: "Mon, 14 Oct 2019 15:10:42 GMT", "Content-Type": "text/plain; charset=utf-8", Via: "1.1 mono003" }, body: "" }This is what i got back when trying to upload a file by the code from the original post.

Thanks! It looks like the Dropbox API is having trouble parsing this particular request. Can you print out and share the raw HTTP request, including headers? That should help us reproduce and debug this. (Be sure to redact your access token, and the request body if it's private, of course.) Thanks in advance.
"Authorization": 'Bearer '+ key, "Dropbox-API-Arg":{"path":"/home/yes.pdf","mode":"add","autorename":true,"mute":false,"strict_conflict":false}, "Content-Type": "application/octet-stream"Above the header i am giving.
