Dropbox Community ModeratorThanks! 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.
URL i am using is:

The "content-upload" style endpoints such as /2/files/upload just expect the binary in the request body so you shouldn't have to re-encode the file data after decoding it from base64. In any case, as far as I can tell from our side, the issue here is with parsing the "Dropbox-API-Arg" header, not the body, so that shouldn't be relevant here.
I see you shared the values you're setting, but can you share the actual raw HTTP request headers as they're being sent?
